The terahertz radiation-induced conductivity and dielectric polarization tensors as well as the Faraday and Kerr rotation angles and the non-equilibrium spin textures are studied for two-dimensional electron gas with strong spin-orbit coupling subjected to high magnetic field and to tunable periodic potential of a two-dimensional gated superlattice. It is found that both real and imaginary parts of the frequency-dependent induced conductivity approach maximum values with sharp and detectable peaks at frequencies corresponding to the inter-subband transitions between spin-split magnetic subbands. The observed properties of the conductivity tensor frequency dependence are applied for the description of the Kerr and Faraday rotation angles which can be used as another experimental tool for describing the electron gas in periodic structures with significant spin-orbit coupling. The formation of radiation-induced spin textures is predicted having both in-plane and out-of-plane components with space distribution scale comparable to the superlattice cell size which can be observed experimentally.
