Abstract
The relationship between generalized Rabi oscillations involving optical transitions in three band systems and Raman coherences is investigated. The system under observation is a conventional GaAs semiconductor quantum well in which only the lowest subband of the conduction, the heavy-hole (hh) and light-hole (lh) bands need to be taken into account. Two simultaneous, strong sub-picosecond pulses of opposite circular polarization, spectrally centered at the hh and the lh-excitons, respectively, are considered. In this configuration, both the intervalence-band Raman coherence and excitonic Rabi oscillations are created.
