Abstract

We present results obtained in real-time resolved linear pulse- transmission and in four-wave-mixing experiments which make use of optical coherent control to selectively enhance or suppress the excitation of polariton resonances in a semiconductor quantum well. By use of a pair of phase-locked pulses the coherent control of polariton modes and their quantum beats are studied. The observed transients are discribed very well by a phenomenological model.
