Giessen author The nonlinear propagation of subpicosecond pulses resonant to the hh 1s exciton in Bragg-periodic multiple quantum wells is investigated experimentally and theoretically. We show coherent pulse breakup and its suppression for increasing pulse intensity in good agreement with calculations based on the semiconductor Maxwell-Bloch equations. For highly nonlinear excitation, pulse compression is observed which is strongly enhanced by the additional contribution of self-phase modulation in the barrier and substrate material. https://ris.uni-paderborn.de/download/4290/4291/2003 Nielsen et al_Pulse propagation in Bragg-resonant multiple quantum wells - From pulse breakup to compression.pdf application/pdf Wiley2003 eng tet_topic_qw 1610-1634 1610-164210.1002/pssc.200303207 51484-1487 yes N.C.
