We report here on dipolar coupling of spin waves propagating as guided modes of adjacent yttrium iron garnet stripes. Three stripes are placed parallel to each other and separated by gaps that are small enough to provide nearest-neighbor coupling. The origin of the coupling is the dipole field of the precessing magnetization vector. The micromagnetic numerical simulation, yielded spectra of spin waves through the magnonic structure. Analysis of those spectra revealed that the lateral structure can be used as a functional unit in planar magnonic networks – they can be utilized as a directional coupler, spin-wave multiplexer, or microwave power divider. Using Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy, we experimentally demonstrated spin-wave transport along the lateral stripes. We were able to control the spin-wave routing between the stripes by varying the bias angle of the magnetic field.
Here we report on bi-directional control of spin waves propagated in yttrium iron garnet (YIG) waveguide with Fe-Rh stripe placed on top of the central part of YIG. We use the micromagnetic numerical simulation to investigate spin-wave transport in multimode regime by the numerical solution of Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. Furthermore, we have explained the evolution of spin-wave signal in the proposed structure by means of 2D Fourier analysis revealing the spin-wave dispersion transformation. The transformation of the spin-wave transmission spectra demonstrates that the proposed structure will enable the control of spin-wave mode propagation by varying the temperature range of Fe-Rh close to the room temperature. Furthermore, the spin-wave signal can switch back and forth via a small variation of the temperature in Fe-Rh slab provided by the means of laser radiation. Analysis of those spectra revealed that YIG/Fe-Rh bilayer structure can be used as a functional unit in planar magnonic networks performing the spatio-frequency demultiplexing and spin-wave mode filtration regime.
