Abstract :
Summary form only given. We apply a two-color pump-probe scheme that enables the observation of several cycles of clearly resolved excitonic Rabi oscillations in a semiconductor quantum well. A 770 fs circularly polarized pump pulse with a narrow spectrum excites resonantly heavy hole (hh) excitons. The linear transmission spectrum of the InGaAs-GaAs sample and the pulse spectra are shown.
