Abstract

The first direct investigations of the coherence properties of resonant secondary emission (RSE) from quantum well excitons are presented. Using ultrafast spectral interferometry the spectral fringes are measured which are resonantly enhanced at the exciton transitions. It is observed that high contrast spectral fringes is in contradiction with current theories of time resolved resonant Rayleigh scattering from excitons and shows for the first time the non-ergodic nature of the RSE.
