I would like to proactively and challengingly explore new research fields, contribute to the development of humanity, and through this, continue to grow myself as well.
This research focused on developing magneto-optical nanostructures for spin-wave optical conversion devices toward the realization of charge-transport-free devices. We established epitaxial growth technology for Ce:YIG thin films on YAG substrates and developed a selective crystallization technique using vacuum laser annealing. Furthermore, we demonstrated angle-dependent magnetic bandgaps in two-dimensional magnonic crystals and established foundational technologies for chip-scale spin-wave optical conversion devices. These achievements are expected to find applications in next-generation optical communication devices.
