Abstract
The degenerate-four-wave-mixing response of excitons in GaAs quantum w ells is modeled using the optical Bloch equations including exciton-ex citon interactions. The results display a strong dependence on the pol arization of the excitation pulses. The model predicts intensity and p olarization dependences of the time-integrated signal and characterist ic temporal features of the time-resolved and time-integrated response in excellent agreement with observations.
