Abstract
Owing to a wealth of interrelated magnetic, acoustic, and optical properties, yttrium iron garnet (YIG) has over the past 28 years been the subject of considerable scientific attention.1,2 Over these years, YIG has emerged as the prototype magnetic garnet. We present the first reported time-resolved optical measurements indicating a hitherto unobserved ultrafast relaxation process following the pulsed photoexcitation of this material.
