We report on the first optical studies of Bi donor bound excitons in {sup 28}Si, using absorption rather than emission spectroscopy, and a new noncontact photoconductivity method which has much higher sensitivity and spectral resolution than photoluminescence spectroscopy. Individual hyperfine components of this potential semiconductor qubit can be resolved under an applied magnetic field, and we find that strong nonresonant optical hyperpolarization towards both the I{sub z} = +9/2 and −9/2 hyperfine states can be observed, depending on the intensity of the above-gap excitation.
