Abstract

A two-port magnetoacoustic delay line, for operation at L-band and room temperature, is described utilizing a YIG-YAG-YIG structure with optical contact bonds. Comparisons in performance are drawn with the arrangement employing a YIG rod and YAG quarter-wave plates for circular polarization reversal.
