[EN] waves is a hot topic. An important class of these metamaterials is based on phononic crystals with Locally Resonant Structure, included in those commonly known as Locally Resonant Sonic Materials. In these metamaterials, ...
[EN] The broadband reduction of the specular reflections by sonic crystals (SCs) is theoretically and experimentally reported in this work. The analysed system consists of a sound source radiating a SC made of acoustically ...
[EN] One of the key trends in laser material processing is the usage of structured laser beams. Collimated and focused Gaussian beams are the most common tools; however, more exotic beams can be beneficial too. For instance, ...

[EN] We report the optimal focusing of acoustic vortex beams by using flat lenses based on a Fresnelspiral
diffraction grating. The flat lenses are designed by spiral-shaped Fresnel zone plates composed
of one or several ...
