Abstract
We briefly review the physics of two-photon absorption processes in lo w-dimensional systems. The anisotropic selection rules of the multipho ton absorption in quantum wells and quantum wires are exploited to stu dy the 2p-exciton states and the otherwise forbidden transitions among quantized subbands of different quantum numbers.
