We report Bessel-like beam formation of acoustic waves by means of an axisymmetric grating of rigid tori. The results show that the generated beam pattern is similar to that of Bessel beams, characterized by elongated ...
Phononic crystals are artificial materials made of a periodic distribution of solid scatterers embedded into a solid host medium with different physical properties. An interesting case of phononic crystals, known as sonic ...
We predict that narrow beams, reflecting from flat subwavelength diffraction gratings, can focus. The effect is shown for the beams of electromagnetic radiation; however, it should be observable for beams of waves of ...

The enhancement of sound inside a two dimensional exponentially chirped crystal during the soft reflections of waves is experimentally and theoretically explored in this work. The control of this enhancement is achieved ...

We study the propagation of waves in a periodic array of absorbing layers. We report an anomalous increase of wave transmission through the structure related to a decrease of the absorption around the Bragg frequencies. ...

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a mechanism of sound wave concentration based on soft reflections in chirped sonic crystals. The reported controlled field enhancement occurs at around particular (bright) planes ...
We report experimental evidences of spatial (angular) filtering of sound beams propagating through sonic crystals. We show that at specific frequencies of the incident wave the paraxial plane wave compo- nents of the beam ...
[EN] A theoretical and experimental study of the propagation of sound beams in- and behind three-dimensional sonic crystals at frequencies close to the band edges is presented. An efficient collimation of the beam behind ...

The formation of high-order Bessel beams by a passive acoustic device consisting of an Archimedes' spiral diffraction grating is theoretically, numerically, and experimentally reported in this paper. These beams are ...

We report the nonlinear focusing of ultrasonic waves by an axisymmetric diffraction grating immersed in water. In the linear regime, the system presents high focal gain (32 dB), with a narrow beam-width and intense side ...

We report the propagation of high-intensity sound beams in a sonic crystal, under self-collimation or reduced-divergence conditions. The medium is a fluid with elastic quadratic nonlinearity, where the dominating nonlinear ...
A theoretical and experimental study of the propagation of sound beams in and behind two-dimensional sonic crystals at frequencies close to the band edges is presented. Beam focusing is predicted and discussed. We evaluate, ...
We predict the existence of evanescent modes with unlocked phases in two-dimensional (2D) dielectric periodic structures. Contrary to what is known for one-dimensional structures, where evanescent fields lock to the host ...
