The experimental demonstration of the spin Hall effect in a high mobility two-dimensional electron system is reported. The spatial dependence is studied by Kerr rotation as a function of the external magnetic field using an applied electric field amplitude and direction as control parameters. We observe that the effect is robust in a bilayer structure with a nonzero Rashba coefficient displayed by an electrically controllable internal magnetic field, a large spin Hall conductivity in the range of the universal intrinsic value, and a mobility-enhanced spin diffusion constant. With the application of an unidirectional electric field, the role of the spin drift was also studied. The data was analyzed following both phenomenological and microscopic approaches and compared with experimental references in a single-layer configuration.
