Laser driven higher harmonic generation has recently been used to generate extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation for probing magnetization dynamics of ferromagnets, element selectively, with a time resolution of few femtoseconds. EUV photons with energies of 52 eV, 61 eV and 67 eV can reach M-absorption edges of Fe, Co and Ni, respectively, what leads to a resonantly enhanced magneto-optical signal. On the other hand, there is a strong progress in imaging techniques using laser generated EUV radiation due to its low divergence and high coherence. In our experiment, we resonantly scatter EUV light from Co/Pt-multilayers forming a magnetic domain pattern. As a consequence of the magnetization dependent scattering, the amplitude of the resulting image in k-space is directly related to the average domain size. Exploring advantage of the femtosecond coherent EUV radiation, our scattering experiment gives the possibility to probe magnetization dynamics with a high temporal and spatial resolution.
