On the quest to faster magnetic imaging we exploit the magnetic circular dichroism in threshold photoemission (TPMCD) in the excitation by a laboratory-based Ti-sapphire laser, providing circularly polarized light of 1.6 eV and 3.2 eV. The corresponding asymmetries are based on different probabilities of transitions between spin-dependent electronic bands in the near photoemission threshold region. We show spatially resolved PEEM images of the magnetic domain pattern of epitaxially grown ultrathin Co/Pt(111) films. By utilizing time-of-flight momentum microscopy we investigate the electronic transitions that are responsible for the TPMCD effect. The time-of-flight momentum microscope allows for an efficient acquisition of angular-resolved photoemission spectra [1]. Additionally, we perform spin-resolved measurements with this method by reflecting the imaging electron beam at an Ir(001) spin filter crystal. While maintaining the band structure pattern they show an overall high spin asymmetry with a pronounced maximum in a flat band slightly below the Fermi level. The spin polarization and the magnetic circular dichroism are compared with theoretical calculations [2]. [1]G. Schönhense, K. Medjanik, H.-J. Elmers, JESRP, 200, 84-118,(2015) [2]K.
