  Recently magnetic storage and magnetic memory have shifted towards the use of
magnetic thin films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA). Understanding
the magnetic damping in these materials is crucial, but normal Ferromagnetic
Resonance (FMR) measurements face some limitations. The desire to quantify the
damping in materials with PMA has resulted in the adoption of Time-Resolved
Magneto-optical Kerr Effect (TR-MOKE) measurements. In this paper, we discuss
the angle and field dependent signals in TR-MOKE, and utilize a numerical
algorithm based on the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation to provide
information on the optimal conditions to run TR-MOKE measurements.
