Abstract

A time-resolved study of the transverse magneto-optic Kerr effect at femtosecond timescales. When 45-fs laser pulses are reflected from an iron grating under an external magnetic field, surface-plasmon polaritons with magnetization-dependent dispersion are excited; and as these decay in time, they affect the reflected pulse profile. This work opens the possibility of manipulating femtosecond laser pulses with external magnetic fields.
