摘要
Spin-polarized light sources are a new class of devices in which the radiative recombination of spin-polarized carriers results in luminescence exhibiting a net circular polarization. The operation principles and design of spin-polarized light sources are discussed. A comprehensive review of experimental work on spin-polarized light-emitting diodes and surface-emitting lasers is provided, concluding with a discussion of future prospects.
