Fresnel zone plates (FZP) with quasi-planar structure and ultrathin thickness are capable of focusing light or acoustic waves efficiently. In this paper, we employ the FZP to manipulate the wave fields and suggest two acoustic functionalities. On one hand, by placing the moving coil-type microphone near the focal point of the FZP, enhanced acoustoelectric conversion is realized. The measured output voltage and power attained are 18.5 mV and 130 nW, respectively, which are 5.1 and 27.3 times that obtained without the FZP. On the other hand, by setting a tapered tube near the focal point of the FZP, deep-subwavelength and efficient localization of acoustic waves at the tube end (the mode size is around λ/20) are suggested theoretically. The cascaded focusing scheme leads to an enhancement of the acoustic intensity of the hotspot by more than 8700 times. The results are useful for realizing acoustic energy harvesting, strong mode localization, and acoustic-field enhancement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
