We fabricate semi-insulating InGaAs/GaAs multiple quantum wells and observe the excitonic enhancement of the photorefractivity in the Franz{endash}Keldysh geometry at wavelengths of 0.92{endash}0.94 {mu}m. A maximum two-wave mixing gain of 138 cm{sup {minus}1} and a maximum diffraction efficiency of 1.5{times}10{sup {minus}4} are obtained. The saturation intensity and the spatial resolution are also measured by four-wave mixing. The diffraction efficiency is saturated at a high external electric field. The dominant cause of this saturation is the deviation of the excitonic electroabsorption from its quadratic law. {copyright} 2001 American Institute of Physics.
