The authors observe relaxation dynamics of spin-polarized electrons excited at a higher-energy spin-split subband in a diluted magnetic semiconductor quantum well by means of pump-probe absorption spectroscopy. Time dependences of the circularly polarized saturated absorbance directly show the relaxation of spin-polarized electrons, which is inaccessible by photoluminescence. The probe-energy dependence of the relaxation time is obtained ranging from 2to100ps at 2.5T within the absorption band. This dependence is systematically explained by both the intraband energy relaxation of the spin-polarized electrons and the subsequent electron-spin relaxation that is modified by effects of the exciton localization.
