Non-resonant parametric restoration of microwave spin-wave signals in YIG films — •Sebastian Schäfer, Andrii V. Chumak, Alexander A. Serga, and Burkard Hillebrands — FB Physik and FSP MINAS, TU Kaiserslautern, 67663 Kaiserslautern, Germany

We report on the storage and restoration of spin-wave pulses in a thin Yttrium-iron-garnet (YIG) film. A Damon-Eshbach (DE) type spin-wave pulse is irradiated by a microstrip antenna and excites perpendicular standing spin-wave modes (PSSW), existing due to the finite thickness of the film. Those modes are excited, where the crossing of DE and PSSW dispersions leads to a hybridization of both groups of magnons. After the DE pulse has left the area of interest, energy is provided to the magnonic system with the means of parallel parametric pumping. Here we focus on the dependence of the characteristics of recovered traveling spin-wave pulses on the intensity of the input microwave spin-wave signal for the non-resonant case where the pumping frequency does not match exactly twice the carrier frequency of the original DE mode. This enables the investigation of spectral characteristics of the input microwave spin-wave signal and is a basic step in order to understand the influence of the thermal bath and increasing of the thermal noise for the interaction between the magnon system and a parametric pumping field.
