Abstract We discuss the evolution of optical properties of semiconductor quantum wells, as the quasi-two-dimensional electronic states are further confined into quasi-zero dimensions by a perpendicular magnetic field. We show that confinement in all three directions strongly modifies both linear and nonlinear optical response. In particular, quasi-zero-dimensionality makes an ensemble of magneto-excitons a unique many-body system, distinct from higher-dimensional excitons and the one-component Coulomb system in the fractional quantum Hall regime or Wigner crystal.
