Comparing the ultrafast changes of the polarization rotation and ellipticity in the magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) we observe a time-dependent magnetization profile M(z,t) in Co/Cu(001) films by exploiting the effective depth sensitivity of the method. By analyzing the spatio-temporal correlation of these profiles we find that on time scales before hot electron thermalization ( 200 fs) local spin-flip processes dominate.
