The Rabi oscillations of a coupled spin-photon system are experimentally studied using time domain microwave transmission measurements. An external magnetic bias field is applied to control the amplitude and frequency of Rabi oscillations, which are a measure of the coherent spin-photon energy exchange and coupling strength respectively. The amplitude and frequency control is described in the time domain as the transient response of a two-level spin-photon system. This approach reveals the link between steady state and transient behaviour of the cavity-magnon-polariton, which is necessary to interpret time domain cavity-spintronic experiments. This transient model also allows us to understand and quantify the polariton mode composition, which can be controlled by the bias field.
