Description:
Supplemental Material: The first section provides details on the diagonalization of the spin Hamiltonian, the spin current operator and the interaction Hamiltonian for stimulated Raman scattering. The second section contains the derivation of the general symmetry allowed form of the magnon photocurrent. The third section gives the derivation of the optical susceptibility of the microscopic spin Hamiltonian. The fourth section shows how to convert the magnon photocurrent into an inverse spin Hall effect voltage.

 Abstract: We introduce the magnon circular photogalvanic effect enabled by two-magnon Raman scattering. This provides an all-optical pathway to the generation of directed magnon currents with circularly polarized light in honeycomb antiferromagnetic insulators. The effect is the leading order contribution to magnon photocurrent generation via optical fields. Control of the magnon current by the polarization and angle of incidence of the laser is demonstrated. Experimental detection by sizable inverse spin Hall voltages in platinum contacts is proposed.
