Effect of sample temperature. a Faraday rotation of a continuous-wave laser beam (wavelength 532 nm) after transmission through a YIG(3 µm)|Pt(5.5 nm) sample as a function of the sample temperature. A fit proportional to \(\left( {T_{\mathrm{C}} - T_0} \right)^\alpha\) (ref. 33) yields a critical exponent of α = 0.5 and a Curie temperature of TC = 550 K. b Temperature dependence of the amplitude of the magnetic THz emission signal S, which differs from that of the sample magnetization, similar to previous work on the DC SSE32. The solid line is a fit proportional to \(\left( {T_{\mathrm{C}} - T_0} \right)^\alpha\), here yielding α = 2.0 ± 0.5
