Influence of the external magnetic field on the phase and wavenumber of the spin waves optically generated by the 1GHz-laser in sample-A (a,b), and by the 80MHz-laser in sample-A (c), and sample-B (d). The spin waves are traced along the x-axis. (b) Distribution of the SW magnetization component parallel to the probe beam (measured by Faraday rotation, Ψ) at the moments when it is maximal at x = 0. Insets: amplitude of the spin waves (measured by Faraday rotation, Ψ 0) at x = 0 versus external magnetic field. Experimental data are shown as dots while calculation results are presented by solid curves. For the calculations of the phase ξ(x), α = 4 × 10−3 for the sample-A (a–c) and α = 20 × 10−3 for the sample-B (d) are taken. For the calculations of the SW amplitude, α SW = 6.5 × 10−3 (insets in a and c).
