Using time resolved Kerr rotation (TRKR) we measured the spin dynamics of hole ensembles at low temperatures in undoped coupled quantum well (QW) structures prepared on GaAs substrates with different growth directions. By gating the double QW system we were able to separate the optically generated electron-hole-pairs into the different QW's, leading to a dominance of holes in the broader QW. As a result, we achieved spin dephasing times of several hundreds of picoseconds for the hole ensembles.
Thus, we were able to measure a strong anisotropy of the in-plane hole g-factor. For this, we altered the direction of the magnetic field applied with respect to the QW [1-10] axis in the QW plane. The arising results were in good agreement with numerical expectations.
