Ringing spectroscopy in the magnomechanical system
Abstract
The ringing phenomenon has been studied in optical whispering gallery mode (WGM) resonators and can be used to sense the ultrafast process in spectroscopy. Here we observe the ringing phenomenon in a magnomechanical system for the first time, which is induced by the interference between the microwave photons converted from the damped phonons and the probing microwave photons. This interference eventually appears as a transparency window even along with the ringing phenomenon in the measured microwave reflection spectrum, which is influenced by the scanning speed and the input power. Then, the ringing spectroscopy is used to measure the coupling strength between the magnon and phonon modes, and outline the displacement profile of S1,2,2 mechanical mode in a YIG microsphere, demonstrating the theoretical analysis. In addition, the ring-up spectroscopy is developed in our magnomechanical system, laying the foundation for fast sensing based on mechanical motion.
