Abstract
The ability of a single acoustic element to produce a compact time domain signal from a multi-mode solid cylindrical waveguide using a time-reversal mirror (TRM) is considered. Two, single element, longitudinal contact transducers were used to excite and receive multiple longitudinal modes in a fused quartz waveguide in a TRM experiment. The TRM is demonstrated to be effective with the limited information from a single longitudinal transducer. Experimental results are presented along with a simple interpretation that shows how a TRM with only a single element can be used as a practical sensor.
