We use a bilayer of YIG/CoFeB to construct waveguides of the directional coupler to induce non-reciprocity in the spin-wave propagation and add new functionalities to the directional coupler. The non-reciprocity due to the symmetry breaking leads to $\Delta$k being different in the two propagation directions when magnetized in the Damon-Eschbach configuration $(+Δk≠-Δk)$. Therefore, the coupling length differs in the two directions. At a frequency, where L$_{-k}$=2L$_{+k}$, the directional coupler operates as a Y-circulator. The spin-wave dispersion curves are numerically investigated in nm-thick bilayers of YIG(100)/CoFeB(40) and YIG(100)/SiO$_2$(5)/CoFeB(40) plane films as well as in nano-scale waveguides and measured using Ferromagnetic Resonance (FMR) spectroscopy and k-resolved Brillouin Light Scattering (BLS) spectroscopy.
