β¦ Synopsis
We present a theory of time-resolved Faraday rotation for semimagnetic quantum well structures in the Voigt conΓΏguration. The nonlinear part of the Faraday rotation signal is expressed as probing the carrier spin populations requiring an o -resonant probe frequency. Our computed results conΓΏrm experimental ΓΏndings of electron spin precession and independent electron and hole spin relaxation. Inclusion of the coherent dynamics of the Mn-spin system in our theory shows that optically created carriers can initiate a long-living precession of the Mn-spins, leading to oscillations which are observed through the linear Faraday rotation.

We use the spin-polarized excitons in a single quantum dot to design optical controls for basic operations in quantum computing. We examine the ultrafast nonlinear optical processes required and use the coherent nonlinear optical responses to deduce if such processes are physically reasonable. The i
