Sound focusing by flat acoustic lenses without negative refraction
We present the experimental realization of two flat acoustic lenses generated by inverse design. The lenses consist of aperiodic lattices of aluminum cylinders confined in a rectangular area. They were obtained by a design tool that combines multiple scattering theory and a genetic algorithm. The cylinders’ positions are optimized by the genetic algorithm in order to produce maximum sound ampli...
متن کاملBiomimetic Gradient Index (GRIN) Lenses
A new class of hierarchically structured polymer optical materials possessing an internal refractive index gradient that mimics biological optical materials is described. The new materials permit the fabrication of gradient refractive index (GRIN) lenses with an unprecedented variety of index gradients. Gradients with different functional forms in both the radial and axial directions have been ...
متن کاملSonic Gradient Index Lens in Water
We study the acoustic scattering properties of a phononic crystal designed to behave as a gradient index lens in water, both experimentally and theoretically. The gradient index lens is designed using a square lattice of stainless-steel cylinders based on a multiple scattering approach in the homogenization limit. We experimentally demonstrate that the lens follows the graded index equations de...
متن کاملPrimary aberration coefficients for axial gradient-index lenses
As for homogeneous lenses, for axial gradients the analysis of the Seidel and chromatic aberration coefficients can be very useful in lens design. However, at present few commercial optical design programs list the Seidel aberrations of GRIN lenses and none of them lists the chromatic aberrations. In order to facilitate the computer implementation of the chromatic aberrations of axial GRIN lens...
متن کاملBirefringent properties of diametrically loaded gradient-index lenses.
Gradient-index (GRIN) lenses have been widely used as collimators in various fiber-optic sensors and as optical coupling devices in components designed for optical communication systems. However, relatively little attention has been paid to the birefringent properties of GRIN lenses and the potential for using them as photoelastic sensing elements in optical transducers. Analytical and experime...
