Ultra-directional source of longitudinal acoustic waves based on a two-dimensional solid/solid phononic crystal

Abstract: Phononic crystals (PC) can be used to control the dispersion properties of acoustic waves, which are essential to direct their propagation. We use a PC-based two-dimensional solid/solid composite to demonstrate experimentally and theoretically the spatial filtering of a monochromatic non-directional wave source and its emission in a surrounding water medium as an ultra-directional beam with narrow angular distribution. The phenomenon relies on square-shaped equifrequency contours (EFC) enabling self-collimatio… Show more

“…This is because it is possible to engineer the band structure to constrain the wave to follow peculiar directions or to produce complete band gaps where wave propagation is forbidden. Resulting superlensing and self-collimation effects have been reported for electromagnetic [4,5], acoustic [6,7], and elastic [8,9] waves. More recently, the interest has been extended to the case of gravity water waves [10,11], because they share, in some limiting cases, the same wave equation as electromagnetic and acoustic waves.…”

“…Cicek and his co-workers [27,28] studied numerically the wave propagation characteristics and self-collimation phenomenon of phononic crystals. Besides this, some experimental results have been performed to validate this phenomenon [29][30][31].…”

“…Parallel zigzag rigid screens have also been proposed as potential focusing and directional beaming devices [28]. While the spatial filtering device described in this paper uses a fluid matrix, Morval et al [17] show directional enhancement of a monochromatic acoustic source into a surrounding water medium using a square array of cylinders in a solid matrix; the 2-dimensional quadropolar collimation effect is based on squareshaped equifrequency contours of the phononic crystal [34]. Although the solid matrix has obvious practical advantage, the narrow frequency device of [17] yields decreased amplitude in the preferential directions as compared with the free field radiation.…”

The TA-based device described here does not have these limitations, and shows for the first time as far as we are aware, broadband positive gain in a neutrally buoyant square GRIN lens, with obvious implications for low loss underwater application.…”
