Abstract : We perform a comparative study of spin transfer induced excitation of the gyrotropic motion of a vortex core with either uniform or vortex spin polarizers. The microwave output voltage associated with the vortex dynamics, detected in both cases, displays a strong reduction of phase fluctuations in the case of the vortex polarizer, with a decrease of the peak linewidth by one order of magnitude down to 200kHz at zero field. A thorough study of rf emission features for the different accessible vortex configurations shows that this improvement is related to the excitation of coupled vortex dynamics by spin transfer torques.
