Optically controlled electron spins in ensembles of quantum dots (QDs) provide an attractive candidate to implement quantum information technologies in a solid-state environment. Electron spin coherence in an inhomogeneous ensemble of singly charged (In,Ga)As/GaAs QDs was studied by means of time-resolved techniques [1][2].

The inhomogeneity of the QDs allows us to address two different spin-ensembles, separated in energy. For the optical orientation of the spin-ensembles we use two synchronized pulsed Ti:Sapphire lasers, which have a well defined spectral detuning. The temporal evolution of the spin precession of the ensembles is measured by time-resolved Faraday-Rotation. Results are reported for a wide range of excitation parameters.
