## Abstract We have analyzed the fourβwave mixing (FWM) characteristics in semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) with optimum timeβdelays between pump and probe pulses by the finiteβdifference beam propagation method. This study is very important to achieve the high FWM conversion efficiency and

β¦ Synopsis
We propose a simple method to estimate the biexcitonic contribution to the excitonic non-linearity. The method is based on the time integrated four-wave mixing (TI FWM) with picosecond pulses. The TI FWM signal, which is measured as a function of the delay between pump and test pulses, shows shift towards positive and negative time delay when the laser is tuned at the exciton and biexciton resonance, respectively. We show theoretically that the magnitude of the shift allows us to estimate the biexcitonic contribution to the third-order non-linearity at the fundamental band edge.
