(a) Configuration for the inverse TMOKE. p-polarised light is obliquely incident on the ferromagnet film and generates an effective magnetic field H_eff inside the film; (b) The inverse TMOKE near the surface (at a point 5 nm in depth) of the magnetic films of iron (black solid line) at λ = 630 nm, nickel (red dotted line) at λ = 630 nm, and bismuth iron garnet (BIG) (blue dashed line) at λ = 400 nm as a function of angle of incidence of light. It is assumed that the samples are illuminated with a 40-fs duration laser pulse with a peak intensity of 500 W/μm². Reproduced from [133] with permission by American Physical Society, Copyright 2012.
