Background:

Brillouin light scattering (BLS) spectroscopy is a versatile technique for studying material excitations.
Existing BLS setups offer spatial, temporal, phase, and wavevector resolution.
Precise wavevector selection is crucial for detailed analysis of excitations like spin waves.

Purpose of the Study:

To improve the wavevector-resolving capabilities of Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy.
To introduce a reliable calibration method for the wavevector selection in BLS setups.
To enhance the accuracy of wavevector measurements in spectroscopic studies.

Main Methods:

Integration of an electro-optic modulator into the wavevector-resolving setup.
Utilizing the modulator as a reference for calibrating the diaphragm hole position.
Measurement of dipole-dominated spin wave wavevectors excited by a microstrip antenna.

Main Results:

The electro-optic modulator provides an accurate reference for wavevector calibration.
The calibration accuracy is primarily limited by the wavevector measurement precision itself.
Successfully measured the wavevectors of spin waves using the improved setup.

Conclusions:

The enhanced wavevector-resolving setup with an electro-optic modulator offers improved accuracy for BLS.
This method provides a robust calibration technique for wavevector selection.
The approach is validated by accurate spin wave wavevector measurements.
