Second and third harmonic optical spectra are studied in epitaxial magnetic thin films in the spectral ranges 1.7-3.2 eV and 2.4-4.2 eV, respectively. No significant increase of the intensity of the nonlinear spectra is ...

The purpose of this review is to summarize the recent progress on laser-induced magnetization dynamics in magnetic dielectrics. Due to the slow phonon–magnon interaction in these materials, direct thermal effects of the ...
