With the steady rise of artificial intelligence and the end of Moore's law, a novel approach for computational capabilities arises to fulfill the ever-increasing demand, while keeping energy consumption low. The research field of spintronics provides new possibilities for such energy-efficient technology by also utilizing the transport of electron spin in addition to charge transport, opening up operation processing in a higher Gigahertz frequency range. Devices that realize such utilization of electron spin are, for example, spintronic AC-nanooscillators such as Spin-Torque-nanooscillators (STNOs) and Spin-Hall-nanooscillators (SHNOs). Additionally, these types of nanooscillators have the prospect of being used in a whole new computer architecture based on the human brain, called "neuromorphic computing". We investigate the effects of femtosecond laser pulses (<100 fs) of different polarities on such nanooscillators by optimizing the lasers' parameters to increase oscillation efficiency as well as manipulate the oscillation frequency optically.
