Schematics of the sample architecture and measurement setup. (a) Direct x-ray intensity image of the sample's transmission window. The central dark horizontal stripe is the antenna. (b) Single time frame of the time-resolved measurement with dynamical normalization that emphasizes the spin waves over the static background. Grayscale values represent the changes of the out-of-plane magnetization component. (c) Result of time-domain Fourier analysis, showing amplitude and phase of the waves in HSV (hue-saturation-value) color space (color code above the image).
