We show TDESR to measure the high frequency electron spin resonance spectra of the molecular nanomagnet Fe3CrPh. We demonstrate the use of a mechanically-detected EPR setup with optical excitations and tunable frequency sources to induce magnetic resonance transitions which are detected using cantilever torque magnetometry. Furthermore we show how we combined TDESR with Photon excited Torque Magnetometry (PheToM) to excite and detect a spin forbidden transition in Fe3CrPh. The results are compared to simulations, W-Band-ESR and AC-SQUID data. We present an interferometric setup to increase the sensitivity of TDESR and we provide the key points for the improvement of the sensitivity down to sub-monolayer coverages, as required for molecular spintronic devices and investigations.
