Abstract

We study the quantum beats and relaxation dynamics of exciton center-of-mass motion confined in GaAs thin films by a reflection-type pump-probe technique. By using spectrally narrowed probe pulses with energies comparable with the exciton energy separation, oscillations caused by quantum beats between the confined excitons and ultrafast responses which are shorter than their lifetime appear. This appearance of quantum beats does not result from the so-called detection process. Our results demonstrate that the reduction of the destructive interference of the probe pulse in the sample is a key factor to observe the excitonic quantum beats.
