Abstract Nonlinear interaction of an intense surface acoustic wave (SAW) with a 2D electron-hole plasma generated by light in a semiconductor quantum well near a piezoelectric crystal is investigated. It is shown that, in a strongly nonlinear regime, the acoustoelectric interaction is enhanced because of the accumulation of carriers in the field of an intense SAW. In addition, in a strongly nonlinear regime, the dissipation of the acoustic wave energy increases and the sound velocity decreases. These dependences fundamentally differ from those observed in a unipolar plasma. For high sound intensities, analytical results are obtained.
