摘要
Six-wave mixing in a ZnSe quantum well is investigated and compared with microscopic theory. We demonstrate that sixth-order Coulomb correlations have a significant qualitative impact on the nonlinear optical response. Six-wave mixing is shown to be a uniquely sensitive tool for investigation of correlations beyond the four-point level.
