摘要：

We report an experimental demonstration of generating electron spin polarization with linearly polarized light in a (110) GaAs quantum well. A detailed frequency-domain pump-probe study shows that the dynamic nuclear spin polarization arising from the oriented electron spins results in a strong dependence of the electron spin splitting on the photon energy and intensity of the linearly polarized excitation laser.
