Research Abstract |
Creation of optical functional devices using electron-spin controlled semiconductor structures will develop new types of optical and quantum-electronic signal processing. We fabricated vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers with long electron-spin relaxation times and achieved lasing with a circular polarization over a wide wavelength range. We also achieved fast switching between right and left circular polarizations with nano-size structures. Moreover, we grew quantum wells operating at the optical communication wavelength and evaluated their electron-spin relaxation times.
