GaV4S8 is a lacunar spinel, notable for its unusual para-to-ferroelectric phase transition and the emergence of novel magnetic ground states below the Néel temperature. One of the latter - the Néel Skyrmion - was recently observed, but to date, little is known about the coherent control of magnetic excitations in this material. Here, we employ time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect spectroscopy to demonstrate the coherent excitation of Néel-type Skyrmions and other magnetic ground states in GaV4S8. In addition, we measure the time-resolved differential reflectivity and coherent phonon dynamics to elucidate the Jahn-teller induced para-to-ferroelectric phase transition in this material.
