Abstract

We present a thorough investigation of the different relaxation channels opened in a strongly interacting system of excitonic quasiparticles in CuCl for density regimes ranging up to 50 MW/${\mathrm{cm}}^{2}$. A spectrally narrow pump beam consisting of 30-ps pulses is tuned around one-half the biexciton energy. It creates an initial distribution of biexcitons through resonant two-photon absorption. A spectrally broad probe beam made of pulses that also have 30-ps duration monitors the excitation-induced variation of the transmission spectrum of CuCl samples near the ${\mathit{Z}}_{3}$ exciton resonance. Coherent processes corresponding to parametric emissions of various orders are observed. Absorption and gain bands that reflect the evolution of biexciton and exciton populations on their respective dispersion curves are followed as functions of the time delay between pump and probe pulses.
