VARIABLE STANDING-WAVE RATIO MAGNETOSTATIC WAVE-OPTICAL INTERACTION IN YIG FILMS

摘要

The collinear and anticollinear interaction of guided light with magnetostatic forward volume waves in yttrium iron garnet epitaxial thin films was investigated experimentally. We set out to demonstrate double-beam modulation with the above Interaction. This was not achieved, but the simultaneous occurrence of the above effects was used to expand the magnetostatic wave-optical interaction bandwidth.
