Abstract

Summary form only given. A microscopic many-body theory for the optical and electronic properties of semiconductors is reviewed with an emphasis on the role of correlation effects among the electronic excitations and in the light matter coupling. The nonlinear response near the fundamental absorption edge and the light emission characteristics are studied for a variety of laser excited heterostructure systems.
