contents Magnon-photon coupling in cavity magnonic systems offers a promising route toward integrated wave-based information-processing devices. However, in ultrathin magnetic films the weak magnon response is easily buried beneath photon-dominated spectra. We show that a derivative-divide analysis of the microwave transmission parameter in a planar split-ring-resonator cavity isolates the magnetic contribution and resolves clear anticrossings in yttrium iron garnet and CoFeB films, yielding measurable coupling down to thicknesses of 60 nm and 5 nm, respectively. These results establish derivative-divide method as a simple and sensitive probe of magnon-photon coupling in ultrathin insulating and metallic films, and as a practical tool for characterizing miniaturized cavity-magnonic devices.
