Coherent pumping of high momentum magnons by light (1911.04728v1)
Published 12 Nov 2019 in cond-mat.mes-hall
Abstract: We propose to excite a large number of coherent magnons with high momentum in optical cavities. This is achieved by two counterpropagating optical modes that are detuned by the frequency of a selected magnon, similar to stimulated Raman scattering. In sub-mm size yttrium iron garnet spheres, a mW laser input power generates 106-108 coherent magnons. The large magnon population enhances Brillouin light scattering, a probe suitable to access their quantum properties.
