    Notes: Abstract Femtosecond pulses of a collinearly pumped Optical Parametric Oscillator (OPO) are applied for investigations of the carrier dynamics in ternary and quaternary semiconductor quantum wells. The design and the specifications of the OPO are given in detail. We show that no measurable jitter exists between the pump pulses and the output pulses of the OPO. Therefore, it is possible to use the OPO and its pump laser for two-color experiments with a time resolution limited by the pulse lengths. We present and discuss results of transient four-wave mixing experiments on (InGa) As/InP quantum wells, and find a new kind of polarization-dependent quantum beat phenomenon. In addition, non-degenerate experiments on quantum wells from the quaternary (InGaAl) As material system, using two pulses at different wavelengths (one from the OPO and one from the pump laser), are discussed as a novel experimental technique to study carrier trapping into quantum wells.

    Notes: Summary We have performed time-integrated and time-resolved photoluminescence experiments on high-quality stressor-induced InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots. The optical spectra of these dot structures exhibit large quantization effects together with remarkably low inhomogeneous broadenings of the respective excitonic transitions. Thus a detailed investigation of the relaxation and recombination dynamics within the distinct electronic dot states becomes feasible. We find that the initial relaxation of optically generated carriers down to the lowest dot states is very efficient. This fast thermalization is ascribed to Coulomb scattering between carriers confined in dot states and carriers located in the higher-energetic quantum well states.

    Notes: Summary We have studied experimentally the coherent exciton-photon dynamics in a single, a double, and a quintuple quantum well structure under resonant excitation. In pump and probe experiments we observe an initial fast decay of the exciton population. This initial decay depends on the number of quantum wells. The population decay is accompanied by a coherent light emission induced by the first-order polarization, the intensity of which increases quadratically with the quantum well number. Interference effects and electromagnetic coupling effects between polarizations located in distinct quantum wells probably play a crucial role in the superlinear coherent emission process.
