Abstract

The present article reports a theoretical study of Bragg diffraction of laser light by magnetostatic forward volume waves (MSFVWs) in a double-yttrium-iron-garnet(YIG)-film-layered structure. The layering provides a means of achieving a significant enhancement in bandwidth for nondispersive MSFVW propagation, leading in turn to a significant enhancement in bandwidth for magneto-optic (MO) coupling. Numerical computations comparing bandwidth for MO coupling between a single-YIG-film geometry and a double-YIG-film geometry are presented.
