Proposed manipulation of spin currents in GaAs crystal using the Pockels effect

A spin current could induce linear electro-optical electric susceptibility, thus the incident light could interact with the spin current via Pockels effect. In this letter, we find by appropriately selecting the directions of the applied electric field, the propagation direction of the incident ligh...
