Title: Brillouin-Mandelstam spectroscopy of standing spin waves in a ferrite waveguide

Abstract

This article reports results of experimental investigation of the spin wave interference over large distances in the Y3Fe2(FeO4)3 waveguide using Brillouin-Mandelstam spectroscopy. Two coherent spin waves are excited by the micro-antennas fabricated at the edges of the waveguide. The amplitudes of the input spin waves are adjusted to provide approximately the same intensity in the central region of the waveguide. The relative phase between the excited spin waves is controlled by the phase shifter. The change of the local intensity distribution in the standing spin wave is monitored using Brillouin-Mandelstam light scattering spectroscopy. Experimental data demonstrate the oscillation of the scattered light intensity depending on the relative phase of the interfering spin waves. The oscillations of the intensity, tunable via the relative phase shift, are observed as far as 7.5 mm away from the spin-wave generating antennas at room temperature. The obtained results are important for developing techniques for remote control of spin currents, with potential applications in spin-based memory and logic devices.

FIG. 1. FIG. 1. : (A) Schematic of the test structure and experimental setup. The test structure consists of a YIG waveguide with the following dimensions. The length of the channel is 16 mm, the width of the channel is 2 mm. The thickness of the YIG film is 9.6 µm. Theremore » are two micro-antennas fabricated on top of the waveguide. The antennas are connected to microwave source. (B) Photo of the device packaged for testing. (C) Experimental data for spin wave propagation between the antennas 1 and 2. The red curve shows the S21 parameter. The blue curve shows the S12 parameters. The green line corresponds to the chosen operational frequency $f$ = 6.159 GHz, where the both waves show maximum transmission (e.g., S21 = -45 dB, S12 = -53 dB). The inset illustrates the non-reciprocity in the spin wave propagation. (D) Illustration of the spin wave equalization process. The red and the blue solid curves depict the amplitudes of the propagating spin waves excited by the antennas 1 and 2, respectively. In order to equalize the BMS output in a given spot (i.e. the green star), we use an amplifier connected to antenna # 2. The dashed blue curve shows the amplitude of the spin wave excited at the antenna #2 after amplification.« less
