The action of electric field of light on electronic dipoles, being the largest perturbation in physics of light-matter interaction, conserves the spin of electron. Nevertheless, an effective optical control of magnetism becomes possible due to spin-orbit interaction. Here we review the fundamentals and recent progress in the area of femtosecond opto-magnetism.
