Summary The transport of radiative and electronic excitations in coherently driven semiconductor quantum wells is analysed. On ultrashort time scales the spatial dynamics is determined by light propagation only, whereas for longer times the propagation of light and electronic excitations may be coupled. The theory is applied to the propagation of electronic excitations in the plane of a single quantum well and to polariton propagation in quantum well wave guides.
