Realization of the unidirectional amplification in a cavity magnonic system
arXiv:2307.02826 · doi:10.1063/5.0166231
Abstract
We experimentally demonstrate the nonreciprocal microwave amplification using a cavity magnonic system, consisting of a passive cavity (i.e., the split-ring resonator), an active feedback circuit integrated with an amplifier, and a ferromagnetic spin ensemble (i.e., a yttrium-iron-garnet sphere). Combining the amplification provided by the active circuit and the nonreciprocity supported by the cavity magnonics, we implement a nonreciprocal amplifier with the functions of both unidirectional amplification and reverse isolation. The microwave signal is amplified by 11.5 dB in the forward propagating direction and attenuated in the reverse direction by -34.7 dB, giving an isolation ratio of 46.2 dB. Such a unidirectional amplifier can be readily employed in quantum technologies, where the device can simultaneously amplify the weak signal output by the quantum system and isolate the sensitive quantum system from the backscattered external noise. Also, it is promising to explore more functions and applications using a cavity magnonic system with real gain.
