The improvement in focusing capabilities of a set of annular scatterers arranged in a
fractal geometry is theoretically quantified in this work by means of the finite element method
(FEM). Two different arrangements of ...
[EN] In this study, we report the characteristics of acoustic jets obtained through a mesoscale (radius less than 5 wavelengths) ABS cylinder made with a 3D printer. We have analyzed the influence of cylinder size on the ...
[EN] The image performance of acoustic and ultrasound sensors depends on several fundamental parameters such as depth of focus or lateral resolution. There are currently two different types of acoustic diffractive lenses: ...
[EN] In this work, we numerically investigate the diffraction management of longitudinal elastic waves propagating in a two-dimensional metallic phononic crystal. We demonstrate that this structure acts as an "ultrasonic ...
[EN] In acoustical lenses both resolution and depth of focus are determined by diffraction and the smaller the lens aperture the worse the resolution and the greater the depth of focus. Diffraction-limited resolution has ...
The lensing capabilities of a single subwavelength slit surrounded by a finite array of grooves milled into a brass plate is presented. The modulation of the beam intensity of this ultrasonic lens can be adjusted by varying ...
