Abstract

We investigate the coherent optical response of individual localized exciton–biexciton (XXX) systems formed at interface fluctuations of a growth-interrupted GaAs/AlAs quantum well. We apply heterodyne spectral interferometry to perform two-dimensional four-wave mixing (FWM) spectroscopy. We retrieve the binding energy of bound and unbound XXs, as well as characterize the system in terms of biexciton–exciton dipole moment ratio and mutual FWM phase. Polarization selection rules of the FWM are determined. FWM hyperspectral imaging and autocorrelation analysis reveal the expected spatial colocalization of XXs with respect to their Xs. A value for the biexciton renormalization in a coherently coupled pair of Xs is retrieved. Our study gives insight into the coherent optical properties of an exciton–biexciton system with a confinement energy comparable to the biexciton binding energy.
