Space-Quasiperiodic and Time-Chaotic Parametric Patterns in a Magnonic Quasicrystal Active Ring Resonator

We demonstrate the dissipative spatiotemporal patterns that are generated by an active ring resonator based on a magnonic quasicrystal (MQC) with Fibonacci-type structure. The dissipative patterns are formed through the magnetostatic surface spin-wave (MSSW) parametric decay into exchange spin waves (SWs), temporal dispersion of the ring resonator and amplification. In the spatial domain, the MSSW and SW parametric patterns measured with the help of Brillouin light spectroscopy have the quasiperiodic spatial localization in crests and grooves of the MQC, respectively. In contrast to the optical quasiperiodic parametric spatial conservative solitons, the amplitude profiles of the magnonic quasiperiodic parametric spatial dissipative patterns correspond to the profiles of the crests and grooves of the MQC. In the time domain, the packets of the chaotic parametric pulses, which are analogs of temporal solitons, are generated at each point of the spatial patterns. The chaotic nature of such pulses is confirmed by an estimate of a highest Lyapunov exponent from the experimental time series. The pulse packets are formed through the time-filtering technique using the external microwave (MW) pulses to control a ring gain. It is shown that at a certain duty factor of the external MW pulses, the parametric MSSW pulses have the amplitude and phase profiles corresponding to the profiles of a conservative bright envelope soliton.
