Abstracts

EN

This contribution presents recent results on spin manipulation by optical pulses in various semiconductor nanostructures such as quantum wells, microcavities, quantum dots. The potentialities of temporal coherent control, as well as spin dynamics under magnetic field are investigated, using the current ultrafast emission spectroscopy techniques.
