Abstract

Specific features of two-photon nutation in a system of coherent biexcitons in CuCl-type semiconductors are studied. It is shown that, depending on the parameters of the system, nutation represents a process of periodic conversion of photon pairs into biexcitons and vice versa. The possibility of phase control of optical nutation is predicted.
