Abstract
We model pump-probe experiments leading to the all-optical initialization of the hole spin of a p-doped InAs/GaAs quantum dots ensemble. We consider selection rules of mixed hole states and include periodic excitation conditions. Hyperfine interaction is taken into account as the common decoherence mechanism for the spins of electrons and holes. We show that the degree of hole spin polarization can be maximized by quenching the action of the hole hyperfine interaction with a small applied magnetic field. However additional hole spin relaxation mechanisms, in the microsecond time range, determine the absolute value of this maximum.
