Influence of carrier-correlations on the optical Stark effect of semiconductors

Summary form only given. For a proper understanding of nonlinear optical experiments in semiconductors even the low-density limit Coulomb-induced many body correlations beyond the Hartree-Fock decoupling scheme need to be considered. In the coherent X(3) limit these correlations manifest themselves in the contributions of bound and unbound two-exciton states to the optical response. The understanding of nonlinear excitonic effects in the Stark effect of semiconductors including carrier-correlations is still of fundamental interest.
