Conversion of waveguide modes in nonuniformly magnetized planar structures

An analysis is made of a planar structure with a nonuniform distribution of magnetization throughout the thickness of a waveguide layer that corresponds to the rotation of magnetic momentum in the plane of the layer. The results of the study show the feasibility of efficiently controlling the conversion of orthogonally polarized modes due to the change of thickness of the transition layer and the angle of magnetization rotation across the waveguide layer.
