Popis: The impact of all kinds of two-pair correlations (biexcitons, exciton-exciton scattering states, two free electron-hole pairs) on four-wave-mixing (FWM) signals generated by ultra-short optical pulses that simultaneously excite excitons and free electron-hole pairs is analyzed. Calculations accounting non-perturbatively for the Coulomb interaction are compared with the Born approximation (BA) and mean-field (MF) results. Thereby signatures of two-pair correlations are identified as well as qualitative differences between microscopic scattering theories and phenomenological treatments of pair relaxations.
