摘要
We have used a transmission line deposited on a transparent substrate to deliver an optically triggered magnetic field pulse to a spin valve structure deposited upon an opaque substrate. The ensuing ferromagnetic resonance oscillations have been studied in optical pump-probe experiments in which the probe passes through the transmission line substrate. The resonance frequencies have been modeled by solving the Landau-Lifshitz equation and are used in determining the anisotropy, exchange bias, and interlayer coupling parameters of the sample.
