Abstract
The quantum kinetic equations of the electron and hole densities and the interband polarization are derived for a laser-pulse-excited semiconductor with Coulomb interaction including renormalization effects, excitonic effects and scattering with memory kernels. Numerical solutions of this set of non-Markovian, nonlinear integro-differential equations are obtained for a statically screened Coulomb potential.
