The ability to tailor the static and dynamic magnetic properties of rare-earth iron garnets has stimulated a multitude of research studies and resulted in numerous applications. One prime example of this material class is the compensated ferrimagnet gadolinium iron garnet (GdIG). We investigate the magnetization dynamics of a single crystal GdIG disk using broadband magnetic resonance and study in particular the dispersion relation of the ferro- and the antiferromagnetic modes. Close to the magnetization compensation temperature Tc we observe a strong and tunable interaction of these two modes. We explain our observations by employing a two-sublattice model for the ferrimagnet and find good agreement with theory. A weak, anisotropy-induced coupling is exchange enhanced close to Tc and yields strong coupling. The clock- and counterclockwise precessing modes thereby hybridize into linearly oscillating modes.
