Abstract
A theory of degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) in the low density excitation limit at the semiconductor band edge is developed on the basis of the bosonic representation of the electron-hole Hamiltonian. By accounting for the exciton-exciton interactions of the lowest order we arrive at the practical few-level density matrix description of the third-order excitonic nonlinearity. The developed theory accounts phenomenologically for the phase space filling, and excitation induced dephasing effects and well reproduces the results of the recent DFWM experiments in high- and low-fineness microcavity. We show that polarization-sensitive four-wave mixing measurements enable to discriminate the contributions to the DFWM signal from the exciton-exciton interactions of different symmetry.
