Abstract
The polarization and population dynamics of resonantly generated excitions in GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well structures are investigated using transient three-pulse four-wave mixing. The decay dynamics show strongly nonexponential behavior for both variation of the delay between the second two pulses, which reflects the population dynamics. A comparison with a theoretical model schows that the dynamics of both polarization and population are mainly determined by frequency fluctuations and not by scattering processes or by recombination. The characteristic time of the fluctuations Tc has to be energy-dependent fo fully describe the results.
