Abstract

Excitonic nonlinearities in the weak-excitation limit condition are examined with time-integrated and time-resolved four-wave mixing (FWM). Below an excitation of 3\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}${10}^{9}$ excitons/${\mathrm{cm}}^{2}$, coherent third-order processes prevail. Echo-type signals are observed in parallel and perpendicular polarization configurations. The coherent process induced by the two-photon coherence of the two-exciton state is attributable to signals in the perpendicular configuration. The polarization dependences of a temporal profile and the intensity of FWM signals are well explained with third-order perturbational analysis that takes into account the two-exciton states and inhomogeneity.
