The interest in artificial magnetic media like magnonic crystals visibly increased during the recent years in view of their application for information processing at microwave frequencies. The main features of these crystals are the presence of bandgaps in the spin wave spectra. The bandgaps are formed due to the Bragg reflections from the artificially created periodic structures. We studied spin wave propagation in longitudinally magnetized width-modulated yttrium iron garnet waveguides by means of both Brillouin light scattering and microwave techniques in the cw and pulsed regime. 30 ns pulses of backward volume magnetostatic spin waves were excited close to the ferromagnetic resonance frequency and their propagation was visualized and measured, both in pass and rejection frequency bands. No pronounced Bragg reflection was observed. The effect is discussed in comparison with results of micromagnetic simulations.
