Research Abstract

In case that the laser power was around the threshold power of two photon excitation from GaAs semiconductors, it is found that the measured electron spin polarization (ESP) was only around 20%, which is much lower than estimated value, which is higher than 90%. It is considered that the ESP degradation is caused by the exists of harmonics in excitation laser and impurity energy states in GaAs semiconductors. To obtain higher than 90% ESP, we have to make more complicate researches & developments for laser system and sample preparation.
