Abstract
Selection rules and polarization dependence properties of one- and two -photon optical spectroscopies to exciton states in semiconductors are briefly discussed. The non-local effects in the description of the ex citon in semiconductors are also considered and their importance is sh own by presenting a gauge-invariant calculation of the two-photon tran sition rates to 2p Wannier excitons states in a two-band model.
