The decoupling of donor atoms from the nuclear spin bath of the host lattice in isotopically enriched silicon leads to very long coherence times of donor electron spins [1]. The exceptional purity of this system also entails an ultra narrow optical linewidth and well resolvable hyperfine splitting of the donor bound exciton transition [2] which is commonly used to probe spin properties of the localized electron ensemble [3]. We employ Faraday rotation spectroscopy and observe a strong spin polarization caused by the linearly polarized probe laser only [4]. The findings are explained by supplemental phase modulation absorption spectroscopy which reveals the evolution of the hyperfine coupled states in small magnetic fields.
