Ultrashort pulse laser techniques are applied to study optically induced modulation in exchange biased ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic (FM/AF) thin bilayer films (NiFe/NiO). Photoexcitation of the FM/AF interface with subpicosecond laser pulses induces large modulation in the unidirectional exchange bias field (H ex) on an ultrashort time scale. The “unpinning” of the exchange bias leads to coherent magnetization rotation in the permalloy film which is time resolved by the experiment and corresponds to a large modulation in the magnetization component (Δ M Z/M S∼ 0.5), on a time scale of 100 psec.
