Abstract:
Generation of chaotic dissipative solitons has been observed in an active ring resonator with one-dimensional periodic ferromagnetic microstructure comprising a single-crystalline film of yttrium iron garnet (YIG) with a lattice of grooves oriented perpendicular to the direction of propagation of a magnetostatic surface wave (MSSW). A quasi-periodic train of chaotic dissipative solitons was generated in this system under the conditions of three-magnon processes of MSSW decay due to the passive synchronization (PS) of spin wave self-modulation in a frequency band corresponding to the first bandgap. The PS onset was caused by the saturable absorption of microwave signals within the bandgap of the MSSW transmission line.
