Abstract
Several recent experimental and theoretical studies have demonstrated the importance of exciton/exciton coupling due to Coulomb interactions for the nonlinear optical response of the 2D exciton in GaAs quantum wells (QWs).1,2 These results imply that multilevel models are required in order to provide a theoretically appropriate description of the nonlinear behavior. Previous application of a renormalized 9-level system has proven successful in describing the third-order response of hh-excitons in GaAs quantum wells.2 We present a comprehensive experimental and theoretical investigation of the polarization selection rules for degenerate- four-wave-mixing (DFWM) and quantum beating of hh and lh transitions in a GaAs QW. Depending on the polarization and temporal sequence of the three pulses simultaneous excitation of the hh and lh transitions generates either quantum beats (QB), no modulation of the signal, or a superposition of QB and polarization interference (PI) effects as proved by spectrally resolved (SR)-DFWM.
