Magnonics is a promising alternative in view of beyond-Moore computing in which information is carried by magnons instead of electrons. However, the major challenge in magnon-based computing is the transition from a single logic unit to an integrated circuit. Here, we report a nanoscale directional coupler fabricated from an 85 nm thick Yttrium Ion Garnet film, which consists of two coupled waveguides with a width of 350 nm separated by a gap of 320 nm. The directional coupler can be used as a universal unit for all-magnon circuits, working as a multiplexer, a AND gate and an XOR gate. These functions are demonstrated by Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy.
