Controlling Magnetism by light — •Theo Rasing — Institute for Molecules and Materials, Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands

The interaction of light with magnetic matter is well known: magneto optical Faraday or Kerr effects are frequently used to probe the magnetic state of materials. or manipulate the polarisation of light.

The inverse effects are less known but certainly as fascinating: with light one can manipulate matter, for example orient their spins. Using femtosecond laser pulses we have recently demonstrated that one can thus generate ultrashort and very strong (~Teslas) magnetic field pulses that provide unprecedented means for the generation, manipulation and coherent control of magnetic order on very short time scales.

In this talk the basic ideas will be discussed and illustrated with recent results.
