Abstract
An asymptotic solution for light-induced exciton density oscillations in a semiconductor is calculated from the semiconductor Bloch equations in the low density limit (weak optical excitation). The analytic approximation is compared with a numerical solution of the full equations. It is shown that even for low area fields (≪2π) density oscillations are caused by Coulomb exchange effects coupling the generated excitons and that the oscillation frequency and amplitude depend nonlinearly on the Rabi frequency of the incident field.
