Popis: Low-temperature time-resolved degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM), single-beam excite/probe and transient grating measurements have been performed on InxGa1-xAs/GaAs superlattices with thin ( approximately 6 nm) InxGa1-xAs wells. We find weak dephasing of heavy-hole (hh) excitons by acoustic phonons. The hh exciton homogeneous linewidth temperature coefficient is 1.9+or-1 mu eV K-1. The low-temperature hh exciton optical nonlinearity is successfully modelled in terms of exciton phase-space filling and exchange interactions in the hh exciton gas. From low-temperature transient grating measurements we find hh exciton in-plane mobilities as high as 6.7*104 cm2 V-1 s-1 and mobilities which are greater in superlattices with thinner barriers.
