基于近零折射率材料的声非对称聚焦透镜

研究基于近零折射率声子晶体的声非对称聚焦透镜。声非对称聚焦透镜的两侧分别为竖直平面与圆弧面结构,由于近零折射率材料的声波方向选择性,当声波从竖直平面一侧入射时,可以通过透镜,实现高性能声聚焦效应;而当声波从圆弧面一侧任意方向入射时,声波无法通过透镜,从而实现同时具有聚焦与非对称传输特性的声学透镜。在此基础上,改变透镜圆弧面的曲率半径,可以调控非对称透镜的正向聚焦焦点位置,且声非对称传输性能保持不变.此外,透镜内部的刚性散射体对声非对称聚焦性能的影响较小。研究结果表明所设计的声非对称聚焦透镜具有多功能、单一结构及高鲁棒性等优点,为设计新型近零折射率声学器件提供相应的理论方案与实验参考.

Numerical study of a near-zero-index acoustic metamaterial

This Letter studies a two-dimensional, membrane-based acoustic metamaterial with a near-zero refractive index. It yields a frequency-dependent effective density that is near-zero at a narrow frequency band centered around its first resonant frequency. This effective density results in its near-zero refractive index. Numerical simulations are shown which demonstrate that the phase in this metamaterial undergoes small changes, and the metamaterial functions as an angular filter such that only a wave with a near-zero incident angle can transmit. Its ability to tailor acoustic phase pattern is also discussed in this Letter.     

Acoustic anechoic layers with singly periodic array of scatterers: Computational methods,absorption mechanisms,and optimal design

The acoustic properties of anechoic layers with a singly periodic array of cylindrical scatterers are investigated. A method combined plane wave expansion and finite element analysis is extended for out-of-plane incidence. The reflection characteristics of the anechoic layers with cavities and locally resonant scatterers are discussed. The backing is a steel plate followed by an air half space. Under this approximate zero transmission backing condition, the reflection reduction is induced by the absorption enhancement. The absorption mechanism is explained by the scattering/absorption cross section of the isolated scatterer. Three types of resonant modes which can induce efficient absorption are revealed. Due to the fact that the frequencies of the resonant modes are related to the size of the scatterers, anechoic layers with scatterers of mixed size can broaden the absorption band. A genetic optimization algorithm is adopted to design the anechoic layer with scatterers of mixed size at a desired frequency band from 2 kHz to l0 kHz for normal incidence, and the influence of the incident angle is also discussed.     

Flat lenses constructed by graded negative index-based photonic crystals with tuned configurations

Flat lenses are designed by means of graded negative refractive index-based photonic crystals （PCs） constructed using air-holes tuned with different shapes. By gradually modifying the filling factor along the transverse direction, we obtain the graded negative index-based lenses for the purpose of focusing an incident plane wave. The finite-difference and timedomain （FDTD） algorithm is adopted for numerical calculation. Our calculation results indicate that these lenses can finely focus incident plane waves. Moreover, for the same size of air-holes, the focusing properties of the lens with rectangular air-holes are better than those with the other shaped air-holes. The graded negative index PCs lenses could possibly enable new applications in optoelectronic systems.     

声单向操控研究进展

电子二极管的发明标志着现代电子学的诞生, 在整个人类社会中引起了科技的深刻变革. 声波是一种具有非常悠久的研究历史的经典波, 却始终被认为仅具有对称的传播形式. 若能制造出可像电子二极管控制电流般实现声波单向导通的声学器件, 显然将对整个声学研究领域产生重大影响, 具有重要的科学意义及应用价值. 第一个基于非线性媒质与声子晶体的声二极管利用非线性突破声学互易原理的局限, 首次实现了将声能流限制在单一方向上的声整流效应. 针对非线性系统转换效率低下的固有缺陷, 在线性体系内围绕声单向传播这个重要科学问题开展了一系列理论和实验研究, 设计与制备了多种具有特殊结构和性能的线性声学单向结构, 在器件的效率、带宽及尺寸方面产生了突破. 在声二极管研究的基础上, 第一个可以像电子三极管操控电流般对声流进行操控与放大的声三极管理论模型也被提出. 本文介绍了声单向传播这一新兴且富有蓬勃生机的研究领域中的主要进展.

Flat acoustic lens by acoustic grating with curled slits

We design a flat sub-wavelength lens that can focus acoustic wave. We analytically study the transmission through an acoustic grating with curled slits, which can serve as a material with tunable impedance and refractive index for acoustic waves. The effective parameters rely on the geometry of the slits and are independent of frequency. A flat acoustic focusing lens by such acoustic grating with gradient effective refractive index is designed. The focusing effect is clearly observed in simulations and well predicted by the theory. We demonstrate that despite the large impedance mismatch between the acoustic lens and the matrix, the intensity at the focal point is still high due to Fabry–Perot resonance.     

Acoustic focusing through two layer annuluses in air

We report an acoustic focusing lens composed of two-layer annuluses made of metal cylinders in air. We find that the cylindrical waves can be focused into a perfect point without diffraction in the centre of the annuluses, which arises from the Mie-resonance modes in the annuluses. The focusing frequencies are related to the size of the inner annulus, and the focusing effect can be applied to the annuluses with different shapes and incident positions. Interesting applications of the focusing lens in the acoustic beam splitter and directional transmitter with energy enhancement are further discussed.     

Comparative Features of Electromagnetic Scattering by an Invisible Spherically Symmetric Lens with a Negative Refractive Index

A spherically symmetric lens with a negative refractive index, which can be invisible from the point of view of geometrical optics, is considered. Expressions describing the profile of the refractive index and ray trajectories in the lens, as well as some results of numerical modeling of plane wave scattering by the lens in the rigorous statement of the problem, are presented. It is detected that, unlike in the case of an invisible lens with a positive refractive index, the minima of the radar cross section in the forward direction corresponding to invisibility for the lens with a negative index occur at integer, rather than semi-integer, values of the electric radius, and that their depth is smaller because of the astigmatism associated with focusing of rays on the axis. Some results characterizing influence of losses in the lens on the level of the radar cross-section minima are also presented.
