Magnetoelastic investigations in pulsed magnetic fields with a pulse duration of about 10 ms are still challenging. The new optical FBG method overcomes the difficulty of mechanical noise and offers a resolution in the order of 10⁻⁶. As an example, the spin states in LaCoO₃, important for understanding of spin-dependent transport in oxides, were analyzed by longitudinal and transversal magnetostriction measurements up to 70 T. The data show a sharp magnetic transition at about 60 T accompanied by a large volume, but only small distortion effect. Supplemented by electronic energy calculations this confirms a correlated low-to-high spin (LS/HS) transition in contrast to the propagated intermediate spin-state scenario (LS-IS-HS).
