In an n-doped CdTe quantum well structure, we studied the nuclear spin coherent and relaxation dynamics in the presence of coherently spin-polarized electrons by optically detected nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The pulsed, optical excitation leads to a partial transfer of the electron polarization to the nuclear spin bath. Thus, a considerable Overhauser field is induced which changes the electron spin precession frequency, detected by time-resolved Faraday rotation. We employed pulsed NMR techniques to selectively study the dynamics of all constituent nuclei separately, both the longitudinal and the transverse dynamics in an external magnetic field.
