Abstract
Four wave mixing degeneration experiments with circularly polarized pulses of 770 fs on single quantum wells (SQW) and multiple QW Bragg structures were performed. The QWs were separated by Al0.3Ga0.7As barriers. In high quality SQWs, radiative recombination yielded an important contribution to the excitonic dephasing and radiative lifetime of coherent excitons was 5 ps. Interwell exciton/exciton coupling mediated by transverse photon exchange existed in MQW Bragg structures. The radiative coupling depended on the number of QWs N, their spacing d, and the direction of the excitation beam. The radiative interwell coupling was a low excitation phenomenon and disappeared at higher excitation intensities.
