Abstract
It is shown that intersubband transitions caused by the normal incidence circularly polarized light can cause high degree of spin polarization in modulation doped semiconductor quantum wells, especially narrow band gap ones. The efficiency of the proposed spin-polarizing scheme in the presence of various spin-relaxation mechanisms is evaluated and found to approach 98% under moderate amounts of illumination. Potential applications are discussed.
