Abstract
The description of the nonlinear optical response of semiconductors near the excitonic resonance has been based on the semiconductor Bloch equations, which have successfully characterized the effects of phase-space filling, exchange,1 and, more recently, dynamical exciton-exciton interactions.2 These effects can be correlated with a saturation of effective excitonic oscillator strength, a shift in resonant energy, and an increase in linewidth. We present a study of an optically induced absorption corresponding to an increase in effective oscillator strength feff of the lowest-lying excitonic state in GaAs.
