The complex structure of the valence band in most semiconductors leads to varied and in some cases unusual properties for spin-3/2 hole systems compared to typical spin-1/2 electron systems. In particular, two-dimensional hole systems show a highly anisotropic Zeeman spin splitting. We have investigated this anisotropy in GaAs/AlAs double quantum well structures both experimentally and theoretically. By performing time-resolved Kerr rotation measurements, we found a non-diagonal hole g-tensor, manifesting itself in unusual signal shapes as well as distinct dependencies on the magnetic field direction. We quantify the individual tensor components for [110]-, [113]- and [111]-grown samples and find very good agreement with our theoretical calculations.
