In this work, we report experimental studies of the Nuclear Spin (NS) relaxation in presence of optical excitation in n-doped GaAs (nd=4 · 1015). The time-resolved photoluminescence study allows us to address a fast subsecond NS dynamics. The NS relaxation time, TS, is extracted by the time-of-flight method commonly used for investigation the kinetics of the photoluminescence decays. Extrapolation of the subsecond spin relaxation times a weak power of excitation allows us to conclude on the existence of the fast NS relaxation dynamics, which has not been studied so far. We show, that the process is governed by the dynamic polarization of NSs subject to an external magnetic field a time-dependent Knight field of photo-generated electrons encourage also the warm-up of NS bath and relaxation of the non-equilibrium NS. We find that the spin relaxation time TS is observed in a subsecond time range showing a decrease of TS from 75 ms down to 40 ms with the pumping power varied by an order of magnitude. The experimental results are interpreted within the developed model predicting a drop of the NS polarization when the light helicity modulation rate reaches a characteristic value determined by ratio 1/ √T1 T2.
