Electrons injected with the minority spin polarization contribute to the EL polarization component (formula presented) due to transitions from (formula presented) conduction band states to (formula presented) valence-band states. For calibration of the circular polarization handedness, Mn acceptor-related photoluminescence from a GaAs: Mn sample has been analyzed according to: V.F. Sapega, T. Ruf, and M. Cardona, Phys. Status Solidi B 226, 339 (2001).
