Abstract
We present an all-optical approach to detecting magnetization reversal events in submicron ferromagnetic structures that is non-perturbative and compatible with ultrafast optical techniques. We demonstrate experimentally that structures much smaller than the wavelength of light can be probed using both near-field and far-field laser techniques combined with a cavity Kerr enhancement technique and two different polarimetry methods. Controlled magnetization reversal events are detected in nickel magnets approaching the 100nm scale. This leads to a promising way to measure sub-picosecond dynamics of nanomagnets for fast device applications.
