Materials exhibiting magnetic spin textures promise advanced magnetic control via the generation of laser-induced ultrafast and non-equilibrium spin dynamics. We investigate ferrimagnetic [Fe(0.35 nm)/Gd(0.40 nm)]160 multilayers, which host a rich diversity of magnetic spin textures including stripe domains, a dense bubble/skyrmion (B/SK) lattice, and a single domain state [1, 2]. Using fs Kerr spectroscopy, we can unambiguously identify the different magnetic spin textures, as we observe distinct coherent spin wave dynamics in response to weak laser excitation. Strong laser excitation allows us to achieve versatile control of the coherent spin dynamics via non-equilibrium and ultrafast transformation of magnetic spin textures by both creating and annihilating B/SKs. We further corroborate these findings by micromagnetic simulations and Lorentz transmission electron microscopy with in-situ optical excitation [3].
