Optical control of magnetism, of interest for high-speed data processing and storage, has only been demonstrated with near-infrared excitation to date. However, in absorbing materials, such high photon energies can lead to significant…
Photo-excited precession of magnetization in (Ga,Mn)As is investigated by measuring time-resolved magneto-optical response and transient differential reflectivity with pump-and-probe technique. In the time region less than 1 ps, rapidly…
Rare-earth-ferrimagnetic oxides are emerging as attractive platforms for investigating ultrafast spin dynamics. Here, we study the photoinduced magnetization dynamics of epitaxial NiCo2O4 (NCO) thin films by time-resolved magneto-optical…
Room temperature Terahertz stimulated emission and population inversion in optically pumped graphene is reported. We experimentally observe fast relaxation and relatively slow recombination dynamics of photogenerated electrons/holes in an…
We have developed a mini-coil pulsed magnet system with direct optical access, ideally suited for nonlinear and ultrafast spectroscopy studies of materials in high magnetic fields up to 30 T. The apparatus consists of a small coil in a…
When two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) are exposed to magnetic field, they resonantly absorb electromagnetic radiation via electronic transitions between Landau levels (LLs). In 2DEGs with a Dirac spectrum, such as graphene, theory…
We use frequency entangled photons, generated via spontaneous parametric down conversion, to measure the broadband spectral response of an array of gold nanoparticles exhibiting Fano-type plasmon resonance. Refractive index sensing of a…
By studying coupled ferro- (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) thin film systems, we obtain an in-plane magnetic reorientation as a function of temperature and FM film thickness. The interlayer exchange coupling causes a uniaxial anisotropy,…
Like air flowing over a wing, optimizing the flow of electronic charge is essential to the operation of nanoscale devices. Unfortunately, the delicate interplay of charge, spin, and heat in complex devices has precluded detailed imaging of…
Coherent coupling between spin wave excitations (magnons) and microwave photons in a cavity may disclose new paths to unconventional phenomena as well as for novel applications. Here, we present a systematic investigation on YIG (Yttrium…
Finding an electronic transition a subtle excitation of which can launch dramatic changes of electric, optical or magnetic properties of media is one of the long-standing dreams in the field of photo-induced phase transitions [1-5].…

The phenomenon of ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) provides fundamental information on the physics of magnetic materials and lies at the heart of a variety of signal processing microwave devices. Here we demonstrate theoretically that…
We use femtosecond optical pulses to induce, control and monitor magnetization precession in ferromagnetic Ga0.965Mn0.035As. At temperatures below ~40 K we observe coherent oscillations of the local Mn spins, triggered by an ultrafast…
Coherent light-matter interactions mediated by opto-magnetic phenomena like the inverse Faraday effect (IFE) are expected to provide a non-thermal pathway for ultrafast manipulation of magnetism on timescales as short as the excitation…
We propose a method for increasing the Raman scattering from an ensemble of molecules by up to four orders of magnitude. Our method requires an additional coherent source of IR radiation with the half-frequency of the Stokes shift. This…
We propose and analyze theoretically a double magnetic plasmon resonance nanolaser, in which Ytterbium-erbium co-doped material is used as the gain medium. Through design of the double magnetic resonance modes, pumping light (980nm) can be…

The optical pump-probe technique is a common tool for investigation of ultrafast spin dynamics, which usually utilizes single-diode detection averaging the dynamics over the pumped area. Using ultrafast imaging technique, we show…
We report the continuous tuning of magnetic anisotropy in perpendicularly magnetized bismuth-substituted yttrium iron garnet (Bi-YIG) films via He$^+$ ion irradiation. Our findings indicate that the magnetization direction of epitaxial…
