Small magnetic ring structures magnetized in the onion state exhibit two spin-wave eigenmode systems confined at the pole and equatorial positions, respectively. With time-resolved Brillouin light scattering microscopy we analyzed the decay of these spin-wave eigenmodes after the resonant excitation with a microwave pulse. A strong dependency on the position within a single ring was found for the lifetime of the excited spin-wave eigenmodes showing that the damping of the magnetization dynamics is not constant within a single magnetic element. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the eigenmode frequencies can be tuned by means of an externally applied field. For certain frequency ratios of the eigenmode frequencies at the pole and equatorial position a nonlocal coupling of spin-wave eigenmodes is observed. Energy is transferred from spin-wave eigenmodes confined in the poles of the ring to spin waves at the equator if the frequency ratio is an integer number. Financial support by the DFG (SPP1133) is acknowledged.
