Abstract
A three-beam configuration is used to investigate the spectrally resolved wave-mixing signal of a ZnSe single quantum well. The spectrum recorded in direction 2k2-k1 shows coherent oscillations induced by a delayed third pulse with direction k3. Intensity and polarization-dependent measurements indicate that the signal is generated by a combination of four- and six-wave mixing. The origin of the oscillations can be explained qualitatively by a two-level model. The polarization-dependent experimental results require the treatment of many-body correlations and are well explained by microscopic calculations including four-particle correlations up to fifth order in the fields.
