title: Ultrafast coherent electron spin flip in a modulation-doped CdTe quantum well.
abstract: We report the experimental realization of coherent electron spin flip in a modulation-doped CdTe quantum well. Coherent spin rotation is realized with an off-resonant laser pulse, which induces a polarization-dependent optical Stark shift in the trion resonance. Complete electron spin flip is made possible by a laser pulse designed to avoid excessive excitations of nearby exciton resonances and minimizes detrimental many-body effects. These results demonstrate an effective approach for ultrafast optical spin control in a complex spin system.
