Submicron-scale spatial feature of magnetization reversal dynamics induced by femtosecond optical pulse irradiation in a small external magnetic field was investigated by time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr microscopy on TbFeCo thin film. The magnetization reversal time near the magnetic domain boundary is dominated by an effective magnetic field generated from the peripheral domain by dipole-dipole interaction. The magnetization reversal is accelerated as high as 4.5 times (from 3.4 ns to 750 ps) when reducing the reversed domain size from 1.5 to 0.4 mu m due to concentration of dipole-dipole interaction.
