Abstract

We demonstrate efficient second-harmonic generation at moderate input power for thin film Ni81Fe19 undergoing ferromagnetic resonance (FMR). Powers of the generated second-harmonic are shown to be quadratic in input power, with an upconversion ratio three orders of magnitude higher than that demonstrated in ferrite. The second harmonic signal generated exhibits a significantly lower linewidth than that predicted by low-power Gilbert damping, and is excited without threshold. Results are in good agreement with an analytic, approximate expansion of the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation.
