Disentangling the power transfer process by non-contact optical measurement in nickel-zinc ferrite/piezoelectric magnetoelectric gyrators

•Non-contact optical measurement method was employed to disentangle power transfer.•Mechanical loss in interlayers still restricts further improvement of efficiency.•Higher efficiency with lower mechanical loss was found in tri-layer gyrators. To precisely position the main energy dissipation source...
