We performed inelastic light scattering experiments on a 12-nm-wide (001)-oriented GaAs-AlGaAs single quantum well. The investigated system is asymmetrically Si doped to obtain a balanced Rashba and Dresselhaus SOI contribution (α=β). The resulting effective spin-orbit field is either parallel or antiparallel to the [110] in-plane direction.

Measurements on intrasubband transitions of the conduction band in backscattering geometry feature a double peak structure for the [110] direction due to spin splitting, while the [110] direction only shows a single peak. By rotating the sample we could demonstrate a cosine behavior of the spin splitting for intermediate angles between these crystal directions.
