Abstract

We create forced excitonic charge oscillations in semiconductor heterostructures by excitation with periodic optical pulse sequences. The far-infrared radiation that accompanies the charge oscillations shows temporal interference patterns for pulse sequences with different optical phase profiles, providing evidence for phase induced population transfers between exciton levels in a semiconductor.
