Zusammenfassung
We present spin relaxation times of two-dimensional holes obtained by spin sensitive bleaching of the absorption of infrared radiation in p-type GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells (QWs). It is shown that the saturation of intersubband absorption of circularly polarized radiation is mainly controlled by the spin relaxation time of the holes.

Zusammenfassung
We present spin relaxation times of two-dimensional holes obtained by spin sensitive bleaching of the absorption of infrared radiation in p-type GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells (QWs). It is shown that the saturation of intersubband absorption of circularly polarized radiation is mainly controlled by the spin relaxation time of the holes. The saturation behavior has been determined for different QW widths and in a wide range of temperatures with the result that the saturation intensity substantially decreases with narrowing of the QWs. Spin relaxation times are derived from the measured saturation intensities by making use of calculated (linear) absorption coefficients for direct intersubband transitions. It is shown that spin relaxation is due to the D'yakonov–Perel' mechanism governed by hole–hole scattering. The problem of selection rules is addressed.
