The application relates to the technical field of
magnetism measuring instruments, in particular to a magnetic sub-space imaging scanning device and method based on the
magneto-optical
Kerr effect. The device comprises a transmitting
assembly, a scanning
assembly and an imaging
assembly. The transmitting assembly comprises a
laser, a
beam expander, a
beam splitter, a mirror, a first half-wave plate, a polarization
beam splitting cube, a
calcite polarizer, a first dichroic mirror, an objective lens, an LED light emitting component, a convex lens and an achromatic doublet lens, so as to focus an incident
light beam on a to-be-measured object. The scanning assembly comprises a second dichroic mirror, a second half-wave plate, a mirror, a
beam splitting prism, a right-angle reflecting
prism, an achromatic doublet lens, a photoelectric balance
detector, a lock-in
amplifier, a
magnetic field applying component and a piezoelectric displacement stage, so as to scan the to-be-measured object. The imaging assembly comprises a convex lens, a
CMOS camera and a
data processing component, so as to generate a topographic image and a
spin wave image. The application can perform
high spatial resolution, high magnetic sensitivity and wide
frequency band spatial imaging measurement on spin
waves and magnetic sub-frequency combs.
