Broadband Transmission Loss Using the Overlap of Resonances in 3D Sonic Crystals
نویسندگان
چکیده
The acoustic properties of a three-dimensional sonic crystal made of square-rod rigid scatterers incorporating a periodic arrangement of quarter wavelength resonators are theoretically and experimentally reported in this work. The periodicity of the system produces Bragg band gaps that can be tuned in frequency by modifying the orientation of the square-rod scatterers with respect to the incident wave. In addition, the quarter wavelength resonators introduce resonant band gaps that can be tuned by coupling the neighbor resonators. Bragg and resonant band gaps can overlap allowing the wave propagation control inside the periodic resonant medium. In particular, we show theoretically and experimentally that this system can produce a broad frequency band gap exceeding two and a half octaves (from 590 Hz to 3220 Hz) with transmission lower than 3%. Finite element methods were used to calculate the dispersion relation of the locally resonant system. The visco-thermal losses were accounted for in the quarter wavelength resonators to simulate the wave propagation in the semi-infinite structures and to compare the numerical results with the experiments performed in an echo-free chamber. The simulations and the experimental results are in good agreement. This work motivates interesting applications of this system as acoustic audible filters.

We have demonstrated extraordinary light transmission effect through Fabry–Pérot cavities in multilayered plasmonic crystals formed by coupling two physically separated metallic nanohole and nanodisk array layers. Superior field-medium overlap is observed with Fabry–Pérot resonances as a result of stronger electromagnetic field confinement in the dielectric region far from the metallic surfaces...
