Abstract
A classical model based on the anharmonic Drude-Voigt model and the Maxwell’s equations is developed for modeling ultrafast nonlinear coherent magneto-optical experiments performed on ferromagnetic thin films. Our theoretical predictions of the Faraday angles are in good agreement with available experimental data.
