Abstract

In 2014, we were able to report 1-kHz, electrical helicity switching of circular polarization (CP) at low temperatures using dual-electrode spin-LEDs [1] and detection of CP up to RT by operating reversely the spin-LEDs [2]. Those LEDs consisted of n-AlGaAs/undoped-InGaAs/p-AlGaAs double heterojunctions and newly developed crystalline γ-like AlO_x (x-AlO_x) tunnel barriers [3]. Presented here are progresses made in the period 2014-2015, including 1-MHz helicity switching, a high CP value of P_EL = 0.12 at RT, and development of a phenomenological model for spin photodiode (PD), all of which are important towards the realization of spin-photonic devices.
