contents We theoretically study dynamical excitonic condensates occurring in bilayers with an imposed chemical potential difference and in photodoped semiconductors. We show that optical spectroscopy can experimentally identify phase-trapped and phase-delocalized dynamical regimes of condensation. In the weak-bias regime, the trapped dynamics of the order parameter's phase lead to an in-gap absorption line at a frequency almost independent of the bias voltage, while for larger biases, the frequency of the spectral feature increases approximately linearly with bias. In both cases there is a pronounced second harmonic response. Close to the transition between the trapped and freely oscillating states, we find a strong response upon application of a weak electric probe field and compare the results to those found in a minimal model description for the dynamics of the order parameter's phase and analyze the limitations of the latter.
