Abstract

We investigate nonlinear optics related to the intraexcitonic 1s-2p heavy-hole transition in GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells. Tuning intense terahertz (THz) light around this resonance we report (i) efficient second order sideband generation and (ii) first clear evidence of the Autler-Townes effect.

Keywords: intraexciton; exciton; AC Stark; Autler-Townes; terahertz; free-electron laser
