Ultrafast coherent electron spin flip in a modulation-doped CdTe quantum well.

چکیده
We report the experimental realization of coherent electron spin flip in a modulation-doped CdTe quantum well. Coherent spin rotation is realized with an off-resonant laser pulse, which induces a polarization-dependent optical Stark shift in the trion resonance. Complete electron spin flip is made possible by a laser pulse designed to avoid excessive excitations of nearby exciton resonances and minimizes detrimental many-body effects. These results demonstrate an effective approach for ultrafast optical spin control in a complex spin system.

Coherent Optical Manipulation of Electron Spins in Semiconductor Nanostructures
Electron spin coherence can arise through a coherent superposition of two spin states in the conduction band of a semiconductor and can persist over remarkably long time and length scales. The robust nature of electron spin coherence makes it an excellent model system for exploring coherent quantum phenomena in semiconductors. This dissertation presents both spectral-and time-domain nonlinear o...

متن کاملCoherent control of bound entangled electrons in a CdMnTe quantum well
Ultrafast laser pulses were used to control the spin state of a pair of entangled, donor-bound electrons in a CdMnTe quantum well. The entanglement, mediated by an optically-excited exciton, was characterized by pumpprobe spectroscopy. The data exhibits two dominant oscillations, one at the frequency of the spin-flip of a donor electron and the second one at twice this frequency. Their amplitud...

Ultrafast optical pulses and coherent techniques are used to create spin entangled states of non-interacting electrons bound to donors in a CdTe quantum well. Our method, relying on the exchange interaction between optically excited holes and the impurities, can in principle, be applied to entangle a large number of spins. Results are presented for resonant excitation of localized excitons belo...
متن کاملUltrafast dynamic control of spin and charge density oscillations in a GaAs quantum well.
We use subpicosecond laser pulses to generate and monitor in real time collective oscillations of electrons in a modulation-doped GaAs quantum well. The observed frequencies match those of intersubband spin- and charge-density excitations. Light couples to coherent density fluctuations through resonant stimulated Raman scattering. Because the spin- and charge-related modes obey different select...
