All-magnonic non-linear frequency conversion processes — •Paul Rondt, Rouven Dreyer, Chirs Körner, and Georg Woltersdorf — Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, Institute of Physics, Von-Danckelmann-Platz 3, 06120 Halle (Saale), Germany

In magnonics, the phase state of spin-wave excitations in magnetically ordered materials can be exploited as a carrier of information for spin-based devices. Over the last decade, non-linear processes, such as three and four-magnon scattering, have pushed magnonics to the next level by demonstrating magnonic counterparts of electronic devices. However, the possibility of frequency up-conversion as a basic functionality for all-magnonic circuits was missing. To understand the potential use of higher-order non-linear processes, we investigated microstructured Ni₈₀Fe₂₀ elements by using the phase-sensitive SNS-MOKE approach as a function of element size and shape [1]. By employing this technique, we demonstrated the existence of phase-stable non-linear spin waves oscillating at odd half-integer multiples of the driving frequency and applied a phase-locking scheme [2]. Moreover, we found that for low-frequency excitations an all-magnonic frequency comb emerges spanning over six octaves, allowing to link MHz frequencies from CMOS devices to high-frequency spin-wave excitations in magnonic circuits [3].
