Popis: Femtosecond exciton dynamics are selectively investigated in a ZnCdSe–ZnSe multiple quantum well at low photoexcited carrier density by means of a two-color absorption saturation technique. Broadening of the exciton lines by the photoexcited carriers is found to dominate the observed nonlinear response, with a carrier distribution dependent dynamics indicating that Pauli exclusion principle effect plays an important role in ternary quantum well systems. On a picosecond time-scale, localized excitons modify the nonlinear response, inducing a frequency shift of the absorption change peak as the system approaches quasiequilibrium.
