Abstract
It is fortunate that the garnet films that support magnetostatic wave propagation are also transparent to infrared light in the range of wavelengths between 1 and 5 μm. This includes wavelengths of 1.3 μm and 1.5 μm, which are of particular interest for optical fiber communications systems. Since a single film can be used simultaneously as a waveguide for optical and magnetostatic modes, interactions between these modes can be exploited for devices such as microwave spectrum analyzers, optical frequency shifters, tunable optical filters, and optical beam deflectors.
