The authors outline a microscopic theory of pump-induced anisotropy in the optical response of Bragg-spaced quantum wells (BSQWs). Their theory explains the manipulation of the band structure of the BSQWs by the pump through the microscopic interactions between excitons in the quantum wells. They apply their theory to understand the mechanism of an all-optical polarization switch implemented on a BSQW structure. They trace the relation between the strongly spin-dependent exciton-exciton interactions and the switching signal. Reasonably good agreement is found between their theoretical results and experimental data.
