Abstract
Spin-wave bandpass filters with small sizes on the basis of thin Y3Fe5O12 [yttrium-iron garnet (YIG)] films on Gd3Ga5O12 [gadolinium-gallium garnet (GGG)] and SiO2/Si substrates have been constructed. A thin YIG film with a thickness of 0.8μm on SiO2/Si substrates has been grown by the ion-beam sputtering. It is found that the coplanar antenna structure can be successfully used to construct tunable small-sized narrowband bandpass filters based on spin waves. The filter transmission characteristic has a nonreciprocity when the direction of energy propagation changes. Spin-wave filter characteristics are analyzed using the transmission-matrix formalism.
