Coherent pumping of high momentum magnons by light
We propose to excite a large number of coherent magnons with high momentum in optical cavities. This is achieved by two counterpropagating optical modes that are detuned by the frequency of a selected magnon, similar to stimulated Raman scattering. In sub-mm size yttrium iron garnet spheres, a mW laser input power gene...
