Loop-gap resonators achieving strong magnon-photon coupling in magnetic insulator thin films

Abstract
Magnon-photon hybrid systems consisting of a three-dimensional electromagnetic resonator and a bulk magnetic insulator constitute the standard experimental platform in cavity magnonics. Here, we demonstrate a modular loop-gap resonator design optimized to couple with thin films of magnetic insulators. We achieve the strong-coupling regime using this loop-gap resonator coupled to a 75~nm-thick epitaxial film of yttrium iron garnet at room temperature. We further show how to perform field-differential spectroscopy of the hybrid magnon-photon system, which eliminates the unwanted signal from other loop-gap modes uncoupled to the magnetic film. In addition to the uniform ferromagnetic resonance mode, the loop-gap resonator enables an hybridization with the standing spin-wave modes forming across the thickness of the film. Our approach unlocks the use of epitaxial films and multilayers of magnetic insulators to tune the magnon band structure in cavity magnonics experiments.
