The relevance of heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) motivates ongoing research and development in magnetization manipulation. We study all-optical helicity-dependent switching (AOHDS) of FePt granular media as a viable alternative method for magnetic writing of HAMR media. The interplay of magnetic dichroism and inverse Faraday effect is currently understood as driving process behind the magnetization reversal. Ab-initio calculations of magnetic dichroism and inverse Faraday effect for the switching rates of single FePt nano particles provided us with a stochastic model for the switching process. We now present data for the wavelength dependent efficiency of the writing process from 800 nm - 1550 nm. We greatly acknowledge the DFG funding within the project "Fundamental aspects of all-optical single pulse switching in nanometer-sized magnetic storage media.
