Abstract

We examine the modification of electron spin dynamics by stimulated emission in optically-pumped GaAs microdisk lasers and observe an enhancement of the spin coherence when the optical excitation resonates with a high-Q lasing mode.

Observation of Optically Stimulated Depletion of Carbon Acceptor Bound Excitons in GaAs

Todd Karin, Russell Barbour, Kai‐Mei C. Fu

We observe stimulated emission of acceptor bound excitons into an excited acceptor state. This technique is used to estimate spin coherence parameters for acceptors and may pave a path toward single acceptor isolation.

Coherent spin dynamics of electrons and holes in semiconductor quantum wells and quantum dots under periodical optical excitation: Resonant spin amplification versus spin mode locking

I. A. Yugova, Михаил Михайлович Глазов, Dmitri R. Yakovlev +2 more

The coherent spin dynamics of resident carriers, electrons, and holes in semiconductor nanostructures is studied theoretically under the conditions of periodical optical excitation using short laser pulses and in an external magnetic field. The generation and dephasing of spin polarization in an ensemble of carrier spins, for which the relaxation time of individual spins exceeds the repetition period of the laser pulses, are analyzed. Accumulation of the spin polarization is manifested either as resonant spin amplification or as mode locking of carrier spin coherences. It is shown that both regimes have the same origin, while their appearance is determined by the optical pump power and the spread of spin precession frequencies in the ensemble.

Optical control of electron spin coherence in CdTe/(Cd,Mg)Te quantum wells

Evgeny A. Zhukov, Dmitri R. Yakovlev, Михаил Михайлович Глазов +5 more

Optical control of the spin coherence of quantum well electrons by short laser pulses with circular or linear polarization is studied experimentally and theoretically. For that purpose the coherent electron spin dynamics in a $n$-doped CdTe/(Cd,Mg)Te quantum well structure was measured by time-resolved pump-probe Kerr rotation, using resonant excitation of the negatively charged exciton (trion) state. The amplitude and phase shifts of the electron spin beat signal in an external magnetic field, that are induced by laser control pulses, depend on the pump-control delay and polarization of the control relative to the pump pulse. Additive and nonadditive contributions to pump-induced signal due to the control are isolated experimentally. These contributions can be well described in the framework of a two-level model for the optical excitation of the resident electron to the trion.

Dual-domain coherent emission: Photon-magnon laser in a hybrid quantum system

Sofia Ribeiro, Pardeep Kumar

We present a quantum theoretical framework that describes the simultaneous emergence of magnon- and photon lasing in a tripartite hybrid solid-state platform. The system integrates optically pumped nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers, a magnetic yttrium-iron-garnet (YIG) microsphere, and a microwave (MW) cavity. Through a comprehensive analysis of the system's dynamics, we reveal the cooperative interactions that drive coherent-stimulated emission in both the magnonic (spin-wave) and photonic (electromagnetic) domains. The model outlines a scalable configuration in which NV centers, excited via optical pumping, couple efficiently to the magnon modes of the YIG sphere placed inside the microwave cavity. Numerical simulations based on experimentally accessible parameters confirm the feasibility of dual-domain lasing. This work advances the integration of photonic and magnonic platforms, opening new opportunities for quantum-enhanced sensing, low-power spintronics, and on-chip quantum information processing.
