Abstract
The theory of transient and steady state optical nonlinearities in semiconductors is discussed. A unifying description of the physical processes underlying the nonlinearities is given. The discussion is focussed on the spectral region around the fundamental absorption edge, and the analysis covers two distinctively different time domains.
