Abstract
Dephasing processes in the optical transitions in low-dimensional semiconductor nanostructures are studied by a novel technique involving a speckle analysis of the secondary emission after a short-pulse resonant excitation. The results are compared with more conventional transient four-wave mixing experiments. A special heterodyne detection technique has made it possible to perform the latter on self-assembled semiconductor quantum dots embedded in a semiconductor optical amplifier.
