The asymmetric exchange contribution in ultra-thin magnetic films with both broken inversion symmetry and an adjacent capping material with a large spin-orbit interaction can lead to a strong interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) [1]. As a result, an additional term linear in the spin-wave wave vector appears in the dispersion relation of spin waves. Brillouin light scattering (BLS) spectroscopy is employed to probe the spin-wave spectrum and to determine the DMI constant. We present results of the investigation of the spin-wave spectrum in ultra-thin CoFeB (0.6 nm) films deposited on Pt and W, respectively. For both single and multilayers these findings are compared with results obtained earlier using methods other than BLS. Furthermore, a detailed analysis of the signal peak behavior is provided.
