  We report on the nonlinear optical dynamical properties of excitonic
complexes in CdTe modulation-doped quantum wells, due to many-body interactions
among excitons, trions and electrons. These were studied by time and spectrally
resolved pump-probe experiments. The results reveal that the nonlinearities
induced by trions differ from those induced by excitons, and in addition they
are mutually correlated. We propose that the main source of these subtle
differences comes from the Pauli exclusion-principle through phase-space
filling and short-range fermion exchange.
