Abstract

An outline of theoretical concepts in the dynamical Stark effect of semiconductors is given. Expressions for the differential transmission spectra with inclusion of exciton-exciton interaction are derived. Similarities and differences in the interband and intraband Stark effect are discussed. For both cases, calculations for AlGaAs quantum wells taking into account polarization effects are presented and compared with experimental data.
