We theoretically study the inverse Faraday effect (IFE), i.e., photoinduced magnetization, in two-dimensional Rashba spin-orbit-coupled electron systems irradiated by a circularly polarized light. The quantum master (Gorini-Kossakowski-Sudarshan-Lindblad) equation enables us to accurately compute the laser-driven dynamics, taking inevitable dissipation effects into account.
