Intense narrowband terahertz pulses are used to modify excitonic transitions in semiconductor quantum wells and to study the dephasing properties of the optically dark 2p states. Time-resolved terahertz-pump and optical-probe measurements exhibit strong nonlinear optical transients of the 1s heavy-hole and light-hole exciton resonances when the terahertz radiation is tuned near the 1s to 2p intraexciton transition.

A microscopic theory attributes the observed nonlinearities to Rabi sidebands showing that the 2p-dephasing time is three times that of the 1s-state.
