Circular Photogalvanic Effect at Inter-Band Excitation in Semiconductor Quantum Wells
We observed a circular photogalvanic effect (CPGE) in GaAs quantum wells at inter-band excitation. The spectral dependence of the CPGE is measured together with that of the polarization degree of the time resolved photoluminescence. A theoretical model takes into account spin splitting of conduction and valence bands.
