Magnonic frequency comb in the magnomechanical resonator

An optical frequency comb is a spectrum of optical radiation which consists of evenly spaced and phase-coherent narrow spectral lines and is initially invented in laser for frequency metrology purposes. A direct analogue of frequency combs in the magnonic systems has not been demonstrated to date. In our experiment, we generate a new magnonic frequency comb in the resonator with giant mechanical oscillation through the magnomechanical interaction. We observe the magnonic frequency comb contains up to 20 comb lines, which are separated to the mechanical frequency of the 10.08 MHz. The thermal effect based on the strong pump power induces the cyclic oscillation of the magnon frequency shift, which leads to a periodic oscillation of the magnonic frequency comb. Moreover, we demonstrate the stabilization and control of the frequency spacing of the magnonic frequency comb via injection locking. Our work lays the groundwork of magnonic frequency combs for sensing and metrology.
