Distant Magnon-Magnon Coupling Mediated by Nonresonant Photon

Abstract

In this paper, we theoretically and experimentally study the distant magnon-magnon coupling mediated by nonresonant photons. We establish a magnon-photon-magnon coupling model for two CrCl3 crystals spacial separated on a microstrip line. By changing the phase difference of the samples from 0 to π in order to manipulate the distant magnons from coherent coupling to dissipative coupling, our coupling model predicts that the dispersion is tunable from a level repulsion to a level attraction. In addition, we experimentally demonstrate that two spacial separated CrCl3 crystals over a distance of 1.2 cm couple each other indirectly via the microwave photons on the microstrip line. Our works for the distant magnon-magnon coupling mediated by nonresonant photons might provide new sight into long-distant information transmission.
