Abstract
Optical pump-probe time- and magnetic-field-resolved Kerr rotation measurements provide a window into the mechanisms that generate dynamic nuclear polarization in bulk gallium arsenide. Previously, we have reported an unexpected dependence of the direction of the nuclear polarization on the sweep direction of the applied external magnetic field. In this paper, we present numerical calculations based on a model for this nuclear polarization due to the optical orientation and optical Stark effect produced by a train of ultrafast optical pulses. We demonstrate the correspondence of the model to our experimental measurements for different laser wavelengths and magnetic field sweep rates. Finally, we show that the model reproduces the sweep direction dependence and provides an explanation for this behavior.
