result of the Brillouin light scattering by coherently driven magnons in magnetostatic modes.
With this imaging technique, we characterize surface magnetostatic modes (Damon-
Eshbach modes) in a one-dimensional magnonic crystal, which is formed by patterned
aluminum strips deposited on the ferromagnetic film. The modified band structures of the
magnonic crystal are deduced from the Fourier transforms of the real-space images. The …
