In recent years, the coupling of surface acoustic waves (SAWs) with spin waves (SWs) in ferromagnetic metals has emerged as a viable option for realising applications such as acoustic diodes, due to the inherently non-reciprocal SAW-SW interaction. However, the coupling of SAWs with SWs in ferrimagnetic insulators has been much less explored. We study SAWs excited by interdigital transducers made of Ti/Au deposited on a GGG/YIG thin film bilayer and covered with a piezo- electric ZnO layer. The ferrimagnetic YIG thin film acts as a source of SWs to which the SAWs can couple. We used micro-focused Bril- louin light scattering (BLS) spectroscopy and vector network analyser measurements to identify the SAW characteristics. We extracted the SAW group velocity and reconstructed the non-linear SAW dispersion in the heterostructure. Furthermore, we studied the magnetic field dependent interaction of the SAWs with SWs.
