Shaping nonreciprocal caustic spin-wave beams

Dinesh Wagle

Résumé

Caustics are intricate and challenging to control near-field interference patterns that exist in a wide range of physical systems, and which usually exhibit a reciprocal wave propagation. Here, we utilize the highly anisotropic dispersion and inherent non-reciprocity of a magnonic system to shape non-reciprocal emission of caustic like spin wave beams in an extended yttrium iron garnet (YIG) film from a nano-constricted waveguide. We introduce a near-field diffraction model to study spin wave beamforming in homogeneous in-plane magnetized thin films, and reveal the propagation of non-reciprocal spin wave beams directly emitted from the nanoconstriction by spatially resolved microfocused Brillouin light spectroscopy. The experimental results agree well with both micromagnetic simulation, and the near-field diffraction model. The proposed method can be readily implemented to study spin wave interference at the sub-µm scale, which is central to the development of wave-based computing applications and magnonic devices.
