Abstract
We report on optical spin pumping of modulation electrons in CdTe-based quantum wells with low intrinsic electron density (by 1010 cm-2). Under continuous wave excitation, we reach a steady state accumulated spin density of about 108 cm-2. Using a two-color Hanle-MOKE technique, we find a spin relaxation time of 34 ns for the localized electrons in the nearly unperturbed electron gas. Independent variation of the pump and probe energies demonstrates the presence of additional non-localized electrons in the quantum well, whose spin relaxation time is substantially shorter.
