Abstract
Light-induced specular rotation resulting from a time-nonreversible nonreciprocal interaction of light with semiconductors of zinc-blende structure is reported. The rotation increases with pump intensity at the rate of 1.1× rad in GaAs and 4.3× rad in InSb and does not disappear immediately after the end of the excitation, but partially decays on a subnanosecond time scale.
