We present the observation of a unipolar optically pumped dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) in a single self assembled InGaAs quantum dot (QD). Electrons are resonantly excited in the QD and polarize the nuclear spin system via the hyperfine contact coupling, creating an Overhauser magnetic field. Remarkably, we observe a strong asymmetry in nuclear spin pumping for excitation of the two Zeeman-split neutral exciton states. Hereby, pumping the higher energy Zeeman branch effectively polarizes the nuclear spin system, whereas the lower energy branch does not. We also find a characteristic dependence of the observed DNP on the applied magnetic field where optically induced nuclear spin pumping is most efficient for an intermediate regime of 4 - 6 T, with a polarization of the nuclear spin bath of 53%. A theoretical model is developed that successfully explains the empirically found features based on the exciton level structure of the system.
