“…Secondly, even though the seminal works on distinct non-optical FC technologies appeared almost simultaneously, they have resulted from rather isolated research efforts. While some of the AFC investigators have already consolidated their activities, which is, for example, the case in optomechanics and Brillouin light scattering communities [10][11][12][13] working on integrated photonic circuits [14,15], in general there is still no coherent research framework for the future development of AFCs.

Frequency combs (FCs)—spectra containing equidistant coherent peaks—have enabled researchers and engineers to measure the frequencies of complex signals with high precision thereby revolutionising the areas of sensing, metrology and communications and also benefiting the fundamental science. Although mostly optical FCs have found widespread applications thus far, in general FCs can be generated using waves other than light. Here, we review and summarise recent achievements in the emergent field of acoustic frequency combs (AFCs) including phononic FCs and relevant acousto-optical, Brillouin light scattering and Faraday wave-based techniques that have enabled the development of phonon lasers, quantum computers and advanced vibration sensors. In particular, our discussion is centred around potential applications of AFCs in precision measurements in various physical, chemical and biological systems in conditions, where using light, and hence optical FCs, faces technical and fundamental limitations, which is, for example, the case in underwater distance measurements and biomedical imaging applications. This review article will also be of interest to readers seeking a discussion of specific theoretical aspects of different classes of AFCs. To that end, we support the mainstream discussion by the results of our original analysis and numerical simulations that can be used to design the spectra of AFCs generated using oscillations of gas bubbles in liquids, vibrations of liquid drops and plasmonic enhancement of Brillouin light scattering in metal nanostructures. We also discuss the application of non-toxic room-temperature liquid-metal alloys in the field of AFC generation.

“…Different shapes of ultrasonic transducers are designed to create different sound fields and are used in various applications, such as ultrasonic ranging [1,2] and ultrasound imaging [3]. The directivity of the acoustic field, the width of the beam and other indicators directly affect the accuracy of the instrument which is significant in ultrasound medicine [4] and acousto-optical devices [5][6][7]. Acoustic field simulation results of ultrasonic transducers assist researchers in adjusting designs to achieve improved performance.…”

Fast Calculation of Acoustic Field Distribution for Ultrasonic Transducers Using Look-Up Table Method

The point source superposition method based on the Rayleigh integral model is time-consuming for calculating the three-dimensional spatial sound field. In this paper, the look-up table method is introduced into the calculation of the acoustic field to reduce the computational effort. Based on the region of synchronous vibration on the transducer, a sub-regional look-up table method is proposed. Simulations demonstrate that both the acoustic field look-up table (ALUT) method and the acoustic field sub-regional look-up table (ASLUT) method have the same acoustic field calculation results as the point source method. Regarding the cost of time, the acoustic field look-up table method takes only one third of the time of the point source method, and the acoustic field sub-region look-up table method takes only one eighteenth of the time of the point source method, with the possibility of further reduction. Both the ALUT and ASLUT methods significantly reduce the calculation time for different types of transducers, which is beneficial for the study of planar sound source devices.
