After establishing this technique as a very reliable technique to image magnonic effects we aimed to reach out for non-linear effects. With this technique it was surprisingly easy to observe the obtained non-linear spin-wave phenomena which were so far only theoretically predicted. In this publication I performed all the measurements, performed some of the micromagnetic simulations and was involved in the writing and reviewing process of the manuscript.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-6a48fcb4-6d17-419e-98de-59528e511dd8\"><em>Q: What was challenging and what was a rewarding moment during your work presented in the publication?<\/em><br>A: One of the most rewarding moments was the first phase-stable observation of these non-linear spin waves and the nearly perfect matching of their wavelength with theoretical predictions. Most challenging was to get an idea why these spin waves only tend to be stable under very specific experimental conditions and which approaches might allow to stabilize them. And of course, it was quite challenging but rewarding at the same time to convince the rather critical referees during the review process that our results experimentally show a new effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"block-81792caf-7b88-4a29-a78e-f7808d886967\">Significance of publication<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Strong alternating magnetic fields can be used to generate a new type of spin wave that was previously just theoretically predicted. This was achieved for the first time by a team of physicists from Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU). They report and provide the first microscopic images of these spin waves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From press release no. <a href=\"https:\/\/pressemitteilungen.pr.uni-halle.de\/index.php?modus=pmanzeige&amp;pm_id=5452\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">103\/2022<\/a> of September 15, 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"block-4b6a9ff7-2bc9-4a2f-a893-dc254031afb2\">Related publication<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>R.
