Abstract
Features reminiscent of spectral hole burning in a homogeneous line are predicted to result from the interaction of small area pulses with the semiconductor exciton resonance. The small area pulses may be designed through pulse shaping or evolve naturally in bulk semiconductors via polaritonic effects. The spectral features exhibit signatures that are characteristic for the underlying material nonlinearity and should occur in any system with isolated spectral resonances and coherent nonlinearities.Keywords
