Transient-four-wave-mixing scheme of excitation including angular photon echo conditions are considered. Spatio-temporal and spectral properties of observed signals are studied. Theoretical interpretation of results includes the local field, excitation induced decay and shift corrections. The situations are analysed when inhomogeneous or homogeneous broadening of spectral line is predominant. The facts of echo signal satellite structure, the signal negative time delay, multiple peaks in the transient-four-wave-mixing spectrum and possibility of echo-like signal observation in homogeneous broadened dense medium have been explained.","PeriodicalId":179542,"journal":{"name":"EQEC '05.

Results are readily extended to describe near-field diffraction from closed apertures of arbitrary shape. These results are of fundamental importance and have specific applications where standard methods, such as fast Fourier transform (FFT) techniques, fail.","PeriodicalId":179542,"journal":{"name":"EQEC '05.

This work also discusses the combined contributions from both types of subbands to the intersubband transitions including many body effects. Nonparabolicity in all subbands are discussed by means of a strong pump pulse generating electrons in the conduction band and holes in the valence bands, and a weak probe pulse in the infrared. Consequently conduction band signatures are predicted in the TE mode. The overall spectral shape, number of peaks and the relative oscillator strengths of the multiple transitions calculated with and without Coulomb effects are radically different, further highlighting the relevance of the theory.","PeriodicalId":179542,"journal":{"name":"EQEC '05.
