Abstract
Spin optoelectronics aims at interconverting photon spins to charges and has the potential to revolutionize telecommunications. Circularly-polarized light emitters rely on spin lasers whereas reciprocal devices consist of solid-state helicity detectors, the fabrication of which has remained a challenge for decades. Experimental results obtained on a spin photodiode based on a ferromagnetic-metal/GaAs tunnel junction will be presented and we will show that the helicity-dependent photocurrent is mostly determined by a dynamical factor resulting from the competition between carrier recombination in the metal and in the semiconductor. This constitutes a radical shift in the physical description of these emerging spin devices.
