  text: "The nonlinear propagation of subpicosecond pulses resonant to the hh 1s exciton
    in Bragg-periodic\r\nmultiple quantum wells is investigated experimentally and
    theoretically. We show coherent pulse breakup\r\nand its suppression for increasing
    pulse intensity in good agreement with calculations based on the\r\nsemiconductor
    Maxwell-Bloch equations. For highly nonlinear excitation, pulse compression is
    observed\r\nwhich is strongly enhanced by the additional contribution of self-phase
    modulation in the barrier\r\nand substrate material."
