Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We report the terahertz radiations in various polar and ferrimagnetic insulating oxides upon irradiation of a femtosecond laser pulse at room temperature. By the resonant optical excitation of an originally spin-forbidden transitio, we observed the emission of terahertz waves, which is attributable to the magnetic-dipole radiation originating from the light-induced subpicosecond magnetization modulation. By mapping out the emission of the terahertz waves, we successfully visualized the vector images of in-plane magnetic domains in magnetic fields. The terahertz-radiation imaging presented here is useful as a new tool to observe ferro- or ferri-magnetic domains.
