Spin waves in magnetic microresonators are at the core of modern magnonics. Here we demonstrate a new method of tunable excitation of different spin wave modes in magnetic microdisks by using a train of laser pulses coming at a repetition rate higher than the decay rate of spin precession. The microdisks are etched in a transparent bismuth iron garnet film and the light pulses influence the spins nonthermally through the inverse Faraday effect. The high repetition rate of the laser stimulus of 10 GHz establishes an interplay between the spin wave resonances in the frequency and momentum domains. As a result, the excitation efficiency of different spin modes can be tuned by a small variation of the external magnetic field. An additional degree of freedom is provided by scanning the laser spot within the microdisk area. This makes the proposed method for spin wave excitation advantageous for the forthcoming application of magnonics for telecommunication and quantum technologies.
