(color online) VISHE as a function of (a) the absorbed laser power, (b) the diameter of the light spot, and (c) the number of the light spot, measured with lasers of different wavelengths. The letters P, N, and d denote the light power, the number of the light spot, and the diameter of the laser, respectively. (d) The position dependence of VISHE. During the measurement, a laser with a wavelength of 405 nm and a power of 50 mW is fixed in the middle of the sample, while another laser with a power of 50 mW, 37.5 mW, and 25 mW, and a wavelength of 405 nm, 532 nm, and 650 nm, is scanning along the Pt electrode, corresponding to the blue, green, and red dots, respectively. The insets are the schematic illustrations of the experiment configuration.
