Time-resolved optical spectroscopy represents an effective non-invasive approach to
investigate the interplay of different degrees of freedom, which plays a key role in the …

We present a concept for selective excitation of magnetostatic surface waves with a quasi-
discrete spectrum using spatially patterned femtosecond laser pulses inducing either an …

Hybrid elastic and spin waves hold promises for energy-efficient and versatile generation
and detection of magnetic signals, with potentially long coherence times. Here we report on …

We investigate the impact of non-collinear dual optical excitation on magnetization
precession in a permalloy thin film using two ultrashort laser pulses. By analyzing the …
