The electron spin of the indium donor in ZnO couples strongly to the 9/2 nuclear spin of indium providing a non-trivial quantum system that can be optically manipulated and read out. Time-resolved Kerr-rotation measurements show directly a complex beating behavior of the electron spin under the application of an external magnetic field. The beat-structure provides a fingerprint of the 10 nuclear spin levels. We find evidence for an efficient optical pumping of the nuclear spin state via the optically pumped donor electron. A modulated pump pulse polarization reduces the nuclear spin polarization starting at frequencies above 100 kHz reaching zero polarization at 8 MHz. A full quantum mechanical modeling of the system including spin relaxation, optical pumping, and electron hopping exhibits excellent agreement with experiment [1]. Prospects for creating non-classical nuclear spin states will be discussed.
