Applying the Floquet theory, we developed the method to control excitonic properties of semiconductor quantum wells by a high-frequency electromagnetic field. It is demonstrated, particularly, that the field induces the blue shift of exciton emission from the quantum wells and narrows width of the corresponding spectral line. As a consequence, the field strongly modifies optical properties of the quantum wells and, therefore, can be used to tune characteristics of the optoelectronic devices based on them.
