Nonlinear Spin Wave Effects in the System of Lateral Magnonic Structures

Abstract

The spin-wave dynamics in the system of lateral magnetic microstructures have been studied experimentally and numerically. Regimes of the propagation of coupled spin waves have been investigated by Brillouin spectroscopy measurement and numerical experiment. A phenomenological model has been proposed to describe the properties of spin waves in a lateral structure. It has been shown that the length of the coupling between spin waves can be governed by varying the power of the signal. The results can be used to fabricate magnetic waveguides of spin-wave demultiplexers, power splitters, and microwave couplers based on the lateral system.
