Abstract
Direct high-speed modulation of circular polarization (Pc) of coherent light will open the way for new communication technology and offers the possibility to overcome the main bottleneck of the optical telecommunications. Here, by using spin-orbit torque (SOT) with spin Hall effect to control the spin injector magnetization, we report for the first time to achieve electrical control of the circular polarization of light emitted from a quantum dot based light emitting diode (LED) at room temperature [1]. The circular polarization can be modulated between ±25% at 250K and ±16% at 290K after pulsed current switching injector magnetization. A repetition of more than 60 times do not reveal any degradation at the injector/semiconductor interface. Our achievement will directly contribute the implementation of the new optical telecommunication technology with Pc modulation. [1] P. A.
