  • Magnonic electromagnetic radiation sources with high output power at high frequencies
    Patent number: 11817242
    Abstract: Acoustically mediated pulsed radiation sources, phased arrays incorporating the radiation sources, and methods of using the radiation sources and phased arrays to generate electromagnetic radiation via magnetic dipole emission are provided. The radiation sources are based on a superlattice heterostructure that supports in-phase magnetic dipole emission from a series of magnetic insulator layers disposed along the length of the heterostructure.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 17, 2021
    Date of Patent: November 14, 2023
    Assignee: Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation
    Inventors: Jiamian Hu, Shihao Zhuang, Mingrui Li

  • Single-mode, high-frequency, high-power narrowband spintronic terahertz emitter
    Patent number: 11199447
    Abstract: Acoustically mediated spintronic THz emitters based on a stacked, multilayered heterostructure that includes a light-to-acoustic transducer layer, a thermal insulation layer, and a magnetic layer are provided. In the emitters, fast acoustic pulses give rise to long-distance propagation of THz exchange spin waves in a magnetic film. Also provided are THz time-domain spectrometers (THz-TDSs) that incorporate the THz emitters.

  • Narrowband, acoustically mediated spintronic terahertz emitter
    Patent number: 11112355
    Abstract: Acoustically mediated spintronic THz emitters in which sound waves, rather than direct laser pulses, give rise to a spin current in a magnetic material via magnetoelastic coupling are provided. The THz emitters include a metal layer that acts as a light-to-acoustic transducer. Also provided are THz time-domain spectrometers (THz-TDSs) that incorporate the THz emitters.
