We have studied the pump-probe Faraday rotation and ellipticity signals of electron spins in ensembles of singly charged (In,Ga)As/GaAs quantum dots.

For degenerate pump and probe we observe that the Faraday rotation signal amplitude first grows with increasing the time separation between pump and probe before a decay is observed for large temporal separations. The temporal behavior of the ellipticity signal, on the other hand, is regular: its amplitude decays with the separation. By contrast, for detuned pump and probe the Faraday rotation and ellipticty signals both exhibit similar and conventional behavior. The comparison between calculations and experimental data allows us to provide insight into the spectral dependence of the electron spin precession frequencies and extract the electron g factor dependence on energy [M. M. Glazov et al., Phys. Rev. B 82, 155325 (2010)].
