Abstract
We report the spatial intensity distributions of the laser-induced charge and spin polarizations in GaAs∕AlGaAs two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) detected by using second harmonic generation (SHG) imaging technique. The spin polarized electrons in the 2DEG are pumped by a single linear polarized laser beam and probed by another beam which produces reflective SHG. By comparing the images of SHG probed with left- and right-circular polarized laser beams, the spatial distributions of the effective charge and spin polarizations in the 2DEG sample are mapped out.
