Abstract
Basic linear and nonlinear optical properties and dynamics of elementary excitations in bulk semiconductors have been reviewed in several lectures (L.Andreani, R.Ulbrich). Here we discuss a novel subject of interest — the nonlinear resonant interaction between polariton solitons and other polariton waves in semiconductor crystals.
