The spin polarization of photoelectrons emitted by unpolarized cesium atoms exposed to circularly polarized light has been measured at wavelengths between 2300 and 3200 {}. At certain wavelengths 100% polarization has been obtained. Slight deviations from theory have been observed. Irradiation of a broad mercury spectrum resulted in (81±{} 3)% polarization with a current of 0.3×{}10^-10 A.
