Abstract
A method for back-tracing magnetic field pulses in pump-probe-type magnetization dynamics measurements is presented. Solving vectorially the Landau–Lifshitz–Gilbert equation for our field-induced measurement geometry yields field pulse profiles fulfilling the theoretical expectations on a 100 ps timescale. Applying the method to our earlier, all-optical-type pump-probe measurements, the claim that the optical pulse triggers an ultrafast anisotropy field pulse gets a direct proof: we derive a pulse consisting of a delta-peak type, full width at half maximum
