Knowledge of the magnon responses to an external magnetic field and temperature is significant for spintronics applications. Herein, exploiting Brillouin light scattering (BLS) spectroscopy, we investigate the magnetic field and temperature dependence of the magnon frequency, line width, and intensity in yttrium iron garnet (YIG). The applied magnetic field here can effectively change the magnon frequency while maintaining the lifetime of the magnon. Specifically, we determine the temperature dependence of magnon frequency and the linear relationship between magneto-optic effects-related terms (| A (+) | 2 /| A (-) | 2 ) and temperature below room temperature (RT), which can serve as a temperature sensor. Our results open an avenue to sense the temperature and the external magnetic field, including the effective magnetic field induced by the magnetic proximity effect. Furthermore, our results provide a route toward designing the operating frequency and loss of the devices, facilitating future research in spin-related applications, including magnon-based logic, memory, sensing, and thermospin devices.
