We report on magnetization precession induced in (Ga,Mn)As by an optical spin transfer torque (OSTT). This phenomenon, which corresponds to a transfer of angular momentum from optically-injected spin-polarized electrons to magnetization,…
Ultrafast spin dynamics in a magnetically compensated rare earth iron garnet film driven by femtosecond optical pulses through the inverse Faraday effect is theoretically investigated. Numerical simulations based on the equations of motion…
We study ultrafast magnetization quenching of ferromagnetic iron following excitation by an optical vs a terahertz pump pulse. While the optical pump (photon energy of 3.1 eV) induces a strongly nonthermal electron distribution, terahertz…
When a nanoribbon is bent under a homogeneous external magnetic field, the effective magnetic field inside becomes either homogeneous or inhomogeneous, depending on the direction of the field. This enables the selective creation of bulk,…
The quest to improve density, speed and energy efficiency of magnetic memory storage has led to exploration of new ways of optically manipulating magnetism at the ultrafast time scale, in particular in ferrimagnetic alloys. While…
We experimentally realize indirect coupling between two cavity modes via strong coupling with the ferromagnetic resonance in Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG). We find that some indirectly coupled modes of our system can have a higher microwave…

We study theoretically the Faraday and Kerr rotation of a probe field due to the orbital magnetization of a two-dimensional electron gas induced by a circularly polarized pump. We develop a microscopic theory of these effects in the…
Optical parametric amplification/oscillation provide a powerful tool for coherent light generation in spectral regions inaccessible to lasers. Parametric gain is based on a frequency {\it down-conversion} process, and thus it can not be…

When high-frequency radiation is incident upon graphene subjected to a perpendicular magnetic field, graphene absorbs incident photons by allowing transitions between nearest LLs that follow strict selection rules dictated by angular…
Magnetic recording using circularly polarized femto-second laser pulses is an emerging technology that would allow write speeds much faster than existing field driven methods. However, the mechanism that drives the magnetization switching…

Circularly polarized optical excitation of plasmonic nanostructures causes coherent circulating motion of their electrons, which in turn, gives rise to strong optically induced magnetization - a phenomenon known as the inverse Faraday…
Laser induced modulation of the magnetization dynamics occurring over various time-scales have been unified here for a Ni80Fe20 thin film excited by amplified femtosecond laser pulses. The weak correlation between demagnetization time and…
Ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) in exchange-coupled ferromagnet-antiferromagnet (FM/AFM) bilayers commonly shows a moderate increase in the resonance frequency owing to the induced unidirectional anisotropy. Here we report a large FMR…
