We demonstrate here an optical measurement technique to quantify the spin-orbit torques. The magnetization dynamics induced by the spin-orbit torques with a sinusoidal current injection is measured by use of polar magneto-optical Kerr effect. The measured signal is then analyzed based on the Landau-Lifhshitz-Gilbert equation with consideration of the spin-orbit torques. The present measurement technique is applied to Pd/Co/Pt films and then, the longitudinal and transverse components of the spin-orbit torques are successfully quantified. The present optical technique provides an alternative way to quantify the spin-orbit torques.
