We show that resonant, two-color spin-flip Raman scattering (SFRS) cannot only be used to manipulate carrier spins in a singly charged ensemble of (In,Ga)As QDs [1], but can also sensitively indicate the coupling of carrier spins to the surrounding nuclear spin bath, i.e., to study the central spin problem [2]. This method allows for monitoring the dynamic nuclear spin polarization directly through the Overhauser shift of the electron-SFRS line, while its width is determined by nuclear spin fluctuations. The rapid temporal decay of the Overhauser shift with slightly increasing temperature is caused by phonon-induced electron spin-flips that depolarize the nuclear spin system. The mechanism of the two-color SFRS is discussed together with the electron-nuclear hyperfine interaction and Pauli exclusion principle.
