Recently, the capability of parallel parametric amplification [1] to amplify thermal spin waves in microstructured elements has been demonstrated [2,3].

Here, we report on the parallel parametric amplification of spin waves which have been externally excited by a microstrip antenna. We show that the amplified spin waves can be detected over a distance of 30 µm, which is quite large in comparison to the spin-wave decay length of 6.3 µm for the investigated geometry. The experimental observation is carried out using microfocussed Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy.

Thomas Brächer is supported by a fellowship of the Graduate School Materials Science in Mainz (MAINZ) through DFG-funding of the Excellence Initiative (GSC 266).
