Here we demonstrate phase control of magnons in the van der Waals antiferromagnet NiPS3 using optical excitation by polarized light. The sign of the coherent precession of spin amplitude changes upon (i) reversing the helicity of a circularly polarized pump beam, or (ii) rotating the polarization of a linearly polarized pump by π/2. Because these two excitation pathways have comparable generation efficiency, the phase of spin precession can be continuously tuned from 0 to 2π by controlling the polarization state of the pump pulse. The ability to excite magnons with a desired phase has potential applications in the design of a spin-wave phased array and ultrafast spin information processing.
