Coherent Pulse Echo in Hybrid Magnonics with Multimode Phonons

The hybridization of magnons and phonons is playing a critical role in the emerging field of hybrid magnonics because it combines the high tunability of magnetism with the long lifetime of mechanics for comprehensive coherent information processing. Recently there has been increasing interest in thin-film bulk acoustic waves because of their long lifetimes at high frequencies. However, the unique multimode nature of such phonon modes has not been exploited as an important resource for coherent information processing. In this Letter we study the simultaneous hybridization of multiple high-overtone bulk acoustic resonances with a magnon and a microwave mode. The demonstrated multimode hybridization allows us to observe coherent pulse echoes, opening opportunities for both fundamental studies and practical applications of hybrid magnonics.
