Abstract

We have investigated the exciton spin relaxation in InGaAs/AlAsSb quantum wells by time-resolved spin-dependent pump and probe reflectance measurements. The spin relaxation time of 1.38 μm-electron-heavy-hole excitons at 150 K is obtained to be 34-43 ps at an excitation power of 50-80 mW. The observed carrier density dependence and temperature independence of the spin relaxation time indicate that the spin relaxation mechanism is dominated by the Bir-Aronov-Pikus process.
