We propose a practical scheme to generate a pure valley current in monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides by one-photon absorption of linearly polarized light. We show that the pure valley current can be detected by either photoluminescence measurements or the ultrafast pump-probe technique. Our method, together w…
