摘要
The recently discovered phenomena of photomagnetic recording using femtosecond laser pulses in magnetic dielectrics opens up intriguing opportunities for ultrafast least-dissipative magnetic writing. Fundamental questions remain, however, about the processes, which limit the repetition rate of such writing. We report the magnetization dynamics and switching caused by a double-pulse excitation with various orientations of pump polarization. In particular, we study write and erase sequences, showing that mutual interference of the effects caused by two laser pulses can occur if the pulses are temporally separated by less than 60 ps. This imposes the fundamental limit for the repetition rate of writing (20 GHz), but this could be increased even further by strengthening the photoinduced magnetic anisotropy.
