Employing short laser pulses with a duration below 100 fs for changing magnetic state of magnetically-ordered media has developed into a distinct branch of magnetism —femtomagnetism which aims at controlling magnetization at ultimately short timescales. Among plethora of femtomagnetic phenomena, there is a class related to impact of femtosecond pulses on magnetic anisotropy of materials and nanostructures which defines orientation of magnetization, magnetic resonance frequencies and spin waves propagation. We present a review of main experimental results obtained in this field. We consider basic mechanisms responsible for a laser-induced change of various anisotropy types: magnetocrystalline, magnetoelastic, interfacial, shape anisotropy, and discuss specifics of these processes in magnetic metals and dielectrics. We consider several examples and describe features of magnetic anisotropy changes resulting from ultrafast laser-induced heating, impact of laser-induced dynamic and quasistatic strains and resonant excitation of electronic states. We also discuss perspectives of employing various mechanisms of laser-induced magnetic anisotropy change for enabling processes prospective for developing devices. We consider precessional magnetization switching for opto-magnetic information recording, generation of high-frequency strongly localized magnetic excitations and fields for magnetic nanotomography and hybrid magnonics, as well as controlling spin waves propagation for optically-reconfigurable magnonics. We further discuss opportunities which open up in studies of ultrafast magnetic anisotropy changes because of using short laser pulses in infrared and terahertz ranges.

The magnetic properties of an ultrathin cobalt film were modified by a focused femtosecond pulsed laser beam. The Co wedge, with a thickness ranging from 0 to 2 nm, sandwiched by Au films was prepared using ultra-high vacuum magnetron sputtering on a mica substrate. The modifications of the laser induced magnetic anisotropy were investigated using magneto-optic Kerr microscopy and MFM/AFM techniques. The laser induces: (i) local reorientation of magnetization from an in-plane to a perpendicular state and (ii) an increase of the coercivity field. A corresponding increase of the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy is discussed considering an improvement of the Co/Au interfaces.

Below T_CO=157 K the quasi-one-dimensional charge-transfer salt (TMTTF)_2SbF_6 undergoes a pronounced phase transition to a charge-ordered ground state. We have explored the non-linear and photoconductive behavior as a function of applied voltage, laser pulse energy and temperature. Besides a decay of the photoconductive signal in a double exponential fashion in the millisecond range, we discover current oscillations in the kHz range induced by the application of short laser pulses. While the resonance frequencies do not depend on voltage or laser intensity and vary only slightly with temperature, the amplitude changes linearly with the laser intensity and voltage. The findings are discussed and compared to comparable phenomena in other low-dimensional electron systems.

Energetic ion beams are produced during the interaction of ultrahigh-intensity, short laser pulses with plasmas. These laser-produced ion beams have important applications ranging from the fast ignition of thermonuclear targets to proton imaging, deep proton lithography, medical physics, and injectors for conventional accelerators. Although the basic physical mechanisms of ion beam generation in the plasma produced by the laser pulse interaction with the target are common to all these applications, each application requires a specific optimization of the ion beam properties, that is, an appropriate choice of the target design and of the laser pulse intensity, shape, and duration.
