Polaron relaxation in self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dot samples containing 2 electrons per dot is studied using far-infrared, time-resolved pump probe measurements for transitions between the s-like ground and p-like first excited conduction band states. Spin flip transitions between singlet and triplet states are observed experimentally in the decay of the absorption bleaching, which shows a clear biexponential dependence. The initial fast decay (~30 ps) is associated with the singlet polaron decay, while the decay component with the longer time constant (~5 ns) corresponds to the excited state triplet lifetime. The results are explained by considering the intrinsic Dresselhaus spin orbit interaction, which induces spin flip transitions by acoustic phonon emission or phonon anharmonicity. We have calculated the spin flip decay times, and good agreement is obtained between the experiment and the simulation of the pump probe signal. Our results demonstrate the importance of spin-mixing effects for intraband energy relaxation in InAs/GaAs quantum dots.
