We have used two-color time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect spectroscopy to study the dynamics of spin/magnetic order in InMnAs. We observed ultrafast photo-induced softening due to spin-polarized transient carriers. This transient softening persists only during the carrier lifetime (~ 2 ps). Our data clearly demonstrates that magnetic properties can be strongly modified in an ultrafast manner
