    Abstract

    The coherent dynamics of both exciton and biexciton resonances have been investigated in In0.18Ga0.82As/GaAs single quantum wells with thicknesses ranging from 1 to 4 nm, using time-integrated and spectrally-resolved transient four-wave mixing. From the temperature dependence of the exciton dephasing time we obtain linewidth broadening coefficients for acoustic and optical phonons. Biexciton binding energies are extracted from the four-wave mixing response in the spectral domain, and are found to be between 1.5 and 2.6 meV. The temperature dempendence of the dephasing of the exciton-biexciton transition is deduced.
