We measured the electron spin relaxation time τ s in (110)-oriented GaAs/AlGaAs multiple quantum well microposts using a pump probe technique with a time resolution of 1.3 ps. A long τ s of 0.74 ns was obtained even for 0.5 µm posts in which the carrier lifetime τ c was drastically shortened to 27 ps. Such long τ s and short τ c are suitable for fast switching of lasing circular polarizations in vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). Our rate equation analysis revealed that a τ s much longer than the τ c obtained in the measurement does not limit the switching speed of lasing circular polarizations in (110)-VCSELs.
