Description/Abstract
Using a spectroscopic technique based on the transient specular inverse Faraday effect (SIFE) we found the electron spin relaxation time in bulk GaAs at room temperature to be 11 ± 1 ps. The hole spin dynamics gives a SIFE signal of the opposite sign and may be resolved in the time-domain
