Abstract. The subject of investigation in this work is the excitation of magnetization precession in magnetic film on the surface of which is formed the temperature relief which is formed by interference picture formatted by preliminary divided ray from femtosecond laser. It is mentioned the discovered in experiment the dependence of excitation efficiency from the orientation of magnetic field applied in the plane of film. The main aim of this work is the theoretical interpretation of observed orientation dependence. The realized in experiment scheme “pump-probe” is described. The whole geometry of task is proposed. This geometry includes in oneself the magnetic film with formed in its surface interference picture and applied in the plane of film the constant field. It is shown that by the thermal expansion in the film the elastic waves two types are excited; the surface Rayleigh waves and leaky longitudinal waves. The projections of wave-vectors of propagating waves to plane of film are normal to the strips of interference picture. The orientation of field may change from to longitudinal to transverse from the same strips. The components of deformation tensor of Rayleigh and leaky waves are determined. The precession of magnetization in the coordinate system connected with field is investigated. By using the apparatus of crossing matrixes it is found the components of deformation tensor are determined. In the frame of linear approach in this system the task about excitation of magnetization precession by elastic deformations by Rayleigh and leaky waves is solved. The dynamical component of magnetization precession which ensures the light polarization rotation which passes along the normal to the plane of film is found. It is shown that the angle of rotation is straight proportional to the tensor deformation components with the summarization with the resonance character of precession magnetization dependence from the value of magnetic field. The dependence of polarization rotation from orientation of field which is applied in the plane of film is found. It is shown that by the orientation of field along and across the interference stripes the rotation of polarization plane is absent. Between these extreme orientations the dependence has appearance as two maxima divided by deep minimum. The received results are compared with data of experiment. It is found the quality and in some cases quantity correlation. The recommendations for further development of work are proposed.
Key words: femtosecond laser, magnetoelastic interaction, “pump-probe” method.
