Abstract

We describe how optical pulses and gate voltages could be used instead of magnetic fields to orient, manipulate, and decohere spins in compound semiconductors. Device proposals based on these phenomena include the magnetic bipolar transistor.

Coherence

Electrons

Magnetic fields

Magnetic materials

Nuclear electronics

Optical polarization

Optical pulses

Optical pumping

Proposals

Quantum dots
