We investigate the magnetization dynamics of 16nm thick and 4 µm wide permalloy squares in a closure domain state using two complementary experimental techniques: Time Resolved Scanning Kerr Micoroscopy (TRSKEM) and Micro Focus Brillouin Light Scattering (µBLS). In the µBLS case, the spin wave spectrum is imaged for a sample excited perpendicularly at different frequencies, while in the TRSKEM case the response of the out-of plane component of the sample’s magnetization upon a fast rise time perpendicular field pulse excitation is recorded in the time domain. In the latter case, the mode structure is then extracted using Fourier Transformation. In addition to a low-frequency mode localized in the domain walls, additional modes in the domains with a main quantization perpendicular to the static magnetization were detected. While TRSKEM is better suited for the observation of low frequency modes, BLS yields better results for modes at higher frequencies. In the overlap of these two frequency spaces, good agreement can be found.
