Abstract
We review the recent progress for spin injection into semiconductors. After discussing the physical background on the basis of the optical selection rules we describe spin injection via magnetic semiconductors and ferromagnetic metal contacts. The concepts for optical detection of spin injection and the problem of spin relaxation in the semiconductor are analyzed before we finally address spin - optoelectronic devices, namely the spin light-emitting diode (spin-LED) and the spin vertical-cavity surfaceemitting laser (spin-VCSEL).
