  1. 750nm 1500nm New Light from Spin CurrentsHui Zhao, University of Kansas Center for Research Inc, DMR 0954486 We observed a second-harmonic generation process induced by pure spin currents. The second-order nonlinear susceptibility is proportional to the density of the current. Currently, there is no technique available for direct detection of spin currents in semiconductors. Study of spin currents rely on detecting current-induced spin accumulations. The demonstrated nonlinear optical effect can be used for noninvasive, nondestructive, and ultrafast imaging of spin currents in a wide range of materials. The control of nonlinear optical properties of materials with pure spin currents may have potential applications in photonics integrated with spintronics.
