Reconfigurable nano-scale spin-wave directional coupler
arXiv:1704.02255 · doi:10.1126/sciadv.1701517
Abstract
A spin-wave (SW) directional coupler comprised of two laterally parallel nano-scale dipolarly-coupled SW waveguides is proposed and studied using micromagnetic simulations and analytical theory. The energy of a SW excited in one of the waveguides in the course of propagation is periodically transferred to the other waveguide and back, and the spatial half-period of this transfer is defined as the coupling length. The coupling length is determined by the dipolar coupling between the waveguides, and the fraction of the SW energy transferred to the other waveguide at the device output can be varied with the SW frequency, bias magnetic field, and relative orientation of the waveguide's static magnetizations. The proposed design of a directional coupler can be used in digital computing-oriented magnonics as a connector (multiplexer) of magnonic conduits without a direct contact, or in the analog microwave signal processing as a reconfigurable nano-scale power divider and/or frequency separator.
