Phase diagrams of AOS with different magneto-optical susceptibilities. The magneto-optical susceptibilities correspond to (a) 1 T per mJ/cm2 and (b) 10 T per mJ/cm2 respectively. The AOS thresholds (boundaries between the switched and unswitched domains) are determined by the threshold of flipping under σ- polarized laser pulse. The demagnetization thresholds (boundaries between the switched and demagnetized domains) are determined by the thresholds of flipping under σ+ polarized laser pulse. The initial magnetic state is M+.
