Magnonic crystals receive a lot of attention in spintronics, due to their great potential for information processing technologies. The main features of these crystals are the presence of bandgaps in the spin-wave spectra. The bandgaps are formed due to Bragg reflections from the artificially created periodic structures. In this work, we studied spin-wave propagation in longitudinally magnetized width-modulated yttrium-iron-garnet waveguides by means of both Brillouin light scattering and microwave spectroscopies. Short pulses (30 ns) 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. We found, that the width-modulated magnonic crystal, shows a new underlying mechanism, where no back reflection of the spin-wave pulse is observed. Such a reflection-less magnonic crystal is a promising candidate for the realization of frequency selective or multi-component devices.
