Time-Resolved Spin Dynamics and Spin Noise Spectroscopy

  • Chapter
Spin Physics in Semiconductors

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences ((SSSOL,volume 157))

Abstract

This chapter gives an overview of the major experimental techniques employing optical spectroscopy to unravel, exploit, and control the dynamics of the entity spin in semiconductors. We describe the areas of application as well as the advantages and drawbacks of the different techniques by means of selected examples from up-to-date research in semiconductor spin physics.
