Chiral magnets provide an innovative framework to study non-collinear spin textures and their associated magnetization dynamics. They include helical and conical magnetic textures that are spatially modulated with a wavevector kh as well as the topologically non-trivial skyrmion lattice (SkL) phase. So far, different techniques have been used to probe the magnetization dynamics of the latter SkL phase in the small wavevectors limit, k ≪ kh, as well as for k > kh. Here, we show that Brillouin light scattering (BLS) is ideally suited to probe the complementary range of wavevectors k kh. We analysed bulk spin waves in the SkL phase of Cu2OSeO3. We provide parameter-free predictions for the BLS cross section and compute both the resonances and their spectral weights. The theoretical results are compared to a BLS experiment in the backscattering geometry that probe magnons with a wavevector k = 48 rad/µ m < kh = 105 rad/µ m. The clockwise, counterclockwise and breathing modes are clearly resolved. Due to the finite wavevector of the magnon excitations, finite spectral weight is theoretically predicted also for other resonances. Experimentally, at least one additional resonance is clearly identified.
