a Analogy between the ordinary Hall effect, AHE, MOKE, and OHE. b Ferris MOKE experimental setup. Inset: illustration of the magnetic field lines of a single magnet. c Schematic illustration of the induced transverse polarization in \(\hat{{{\boldsymbol{x}}}}\) due to the linearly polarized optical field in \(\hat{{{\boldsymbol{y}}}}\) and the externally applied magnetic field, \({{{\boldsymbol{B}}}}_{{{\boldsymbol{z}}}}\). d Measured temporal profiles of \({{{\boldsymbol{B}}}}_{{{\boldsymbol{z}}}}\left({{\boldsymbol{t}}},{{\boldsymbol{l}}}\right)\) for \({{\boldsymbol{l}}}={{\boldsymbol{1}}}\), \({{\boldsymbol{3}}}\), and \({{\boldsymbol{5}}}\,{{\boldsymbol{mm}}}\).
