Spin wave is collective precession motion of local magnetic moments propagating as a wave. Since phases and the propagation of spin waves on a tangentially magnetized film is expected to be modulated by non-zero Berry curvature, it is expected as a system to investigate the geometrical phase effect on spin waves.In order to realize the observation of the effects, we built a time-resolved magneto-optical imaging method by using Cotton-Mouton effect which is sensitive to the in-plane component of spin precession.We are going to report the measurement result in a garnet film in the presentation.
