Abstract
By degenerate four-wave mixing experiments in a two-beam geometry, we have investigated the initial coherence and dephasing of quasi two-dimensional excitions and biexcitons in GaAs multiple quantum wells. The dephasing has contributions from phonon scattering, interface-roughness scattering and exciton-exciton scattering. Inhomogeneous broadening and generation of coherent wavepackets play a significant role in the coherent exciton dynamics. The incoherent exciton dynamics, diffusion and recombination, is studied by three-beam transient grating experiments. A significant difference in the interface roughness scattering of coherent and incoherent (thermalized) excitons is observed.
