We demonstrate tunable spin wave spectrum in two-dimensional Ni{sub 80}Fe{sub 20} nanodot lattices by varying dot shape. A single collective mode in elliptical dot lattices transforms into three distinct modes for the half-elliptical, rectangular, and diamond dot lattices, albeit with different peak frequencies and intensities. A drastic change is observed for the triangular dots, where eight modes covering a broad band are observed. Using micromagnetic simulations, we characterized the modes as different localized, extended, and quantized modes, whose frequencies and spatial profiles are determined by a combination of internal field profiles within the nanodots and the stray magnetic field within the lattice.
