We investigate by Brillouin-Light-Scattering microscopy the spatial dependent auto-oscillation spectra of tapered permalloy wires [1] when subjected to spin-orbit-torques generated via the spin hall effect in an underlying Platinum layer. We first identify the different spectral contributions to the integral auto-oscillation signal across the spatially varying SHO. Subsequently the influence of external microwave signals on these spectra are investigated. Strongly amplified signals are observed, when the microwave frequency matches those of the auto-oscillations even for microwave powers, which are sufficiently small to not excite magnetisation dynamics outside of the auto-oscillatory regime. We believe this can be attributed to locking of the non-isochronus SHO to the external microwave signals resulting in spectrally narrower auto-oscillations with differing spatial extend.
