Multimode unidirectional spin-wave coupling in an array of non-identical magnonic crystals near band gap frequencies. (23rd March 2021) - Gubanov, V A
Abstract: Using Brillouin light spectroscopy and micromagnetic simulation methods, we show how the intermodal coupling between two magnonic crystals (MCs) affects signals spatial selection with frequency separation during spin-wave transport. We have experimentally demonstrated control of the intermodal coupling of spin waves (SWs) propagating in non-identical magnonic-crystal microwaveguides near the band gap frequency. We show that the spin-wave propagation direction within the MCs of different width can be controlled by the lateral coupling between SWs. Our findings provide an alternative method for signal filtering and separation within magnonic networks for the implementation of magnonic demultiplexers, power dividers, couplers and microwave signal processing devices. based on the lateral array of non-identical MCs.
