✦ Synopsis
We investigate the dependence of four-wave mixing response on the photon energy close to the fundamental exciton (X) resonance in GaAs quantum wells. We find that crosspolarised incident fields give rise to a non-linear signal which decays faster at energies below the (\mathrm{X}) line centre than above. We show that this behaviour cannot be assigned to biexciton transitions alone but rather suggests that the delocalised (\mathrm{X}) states above the mobility edge are excited off-resonantly by the laser light having slightly lower energies.
