Rigorous coupled-wave analysis for the design of ultrasound metasurfaces with soft boundaries
Acoustic metasurfaces enable precise wavefront manipulation, yet face significant computational and design challenges in predicting and optimizing their behavior. By utilizing efficient computational methods based on rigorous coupled wave analysis (RCWA), we design and optimize multifocal metasurfaces. Multifocal metasurfaces hold significant potential for medical ultrasound applications. Using a trifocal metasurface as a demonstrative example, we showcase the capabilities of our innovative algorithm in the design and optimization of multifocal metasurfaces. Our methodology integrates RCWA with angular spectrum analysis and genetic algorithms to achieve simultaneous amplitude and phase modulation, enabling arbitrary energy distribution among multiple focal points. Through comprehensive numerical simulations and experimental validation, we demonstrate the feasibility of our design in achieving three-dimensional acoustic intensity control. This work provides a novel solution for advanced medical ultrasound applications, offering substantial improvements in computational efficiency and design flexibility compared to conventional methods.
期刊介绍:
Since its launch in 1968, Applied Acoustics has been publishing high quality research papers providing state-of-the-art coverage of research findings for engineers and scientists involved in applications of acoustics in the widest sense.
Applied Acoustics looks not only at recent developments in the understanding of acoustics but also at ways of exploiting that understanding. The Journal aims to encourage the exchange of practical experience through publication and in so doing creates a fund of technological information that can be used for solving related problems. The presentation of information in graphical or tabular form is especially encouraged. If a report of a mathematical development is a necessary part of a paper it is important to ensure that it is there only as an integral part of a practical solution to a problem and is supported by data. Applied Acoustics encourages the exchange of practical experience in the following ways: • Complete Papers • Short Technical Notes • Review Articles; and thereby provides a wealth of technological information that can be used to solve related problems.
Manuscripts that address all fields of applications of acoustics ranging from medicine and NDT to the environment and buildings are welcome.
