Simultaneous detection of terahertz (THz) emission and transient magneto-optical response is employed to study ultrafast laser-induced magnetization dynamics in three different types of amorphous metallic alloys: Co, GdFeCo, and NdFeCo. A satisfactory agreement between the dynamics revealed with the help of these two techniques is obtained for Co and GdFeCo. For NdFeCo the THz emission indicates faster dynamics than the magneto-optical response. This observation indicates that in addition to spin dynamics of Fe, ultrafast laser excitation of NdFeCo triggers faster magnetization dynamics of Nd originating from its orbital momentum.
