Wedemonstrate how dynamic correlations of heavy-hole and light-hole excitons insemiconductor quantum wells may be investigated by two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy.The coherent response to three femtosecond optical pulses is predictedto yield cross (off-diagonal) peaks that contain direct signatures ofmany-body two-exciton correlations. Signals generated at various phase-matching directions arecompared.
