DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0050] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort belong to the scope of the present application.

[0051] The present application aims to provide a multi-focal acoustic metasurface based on complex amplitude coding and a design method thereof. The acoustic metasurface is made of photosensitive resin material, and the number, position, intensity and phase of the focal points are adjustable. The metasurface based on the design method can realize various forms of acoustic needle or acoustic vortex, and is expected to have important applications in the fields of acoustic detection, imaging, medical treatment, etc.

[0052] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application will be further described in detail below with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0053] The design method of the multi-focal acoustic metasurface based on complex amplitude coding provided by the present application uses photosensitive resin material to prepare a multi-focal acoustic metasurface, and the number, position, relative intensity and phase of the focal points of the multi-focal acoustic metasurface are adjustable, realizing multi-focal synthetic acoustic needle or acoustic vortex, and specifically comprising the following steps:

[0054] Step 1, constructing a modulation phase formula based on the focal point coordinates, focal length and wave number in the background medium, modulating the phase of the incident sound wave by the modulation phase formula to realize single-point focusing; the modulation phase formula constructed in this step only modulates the phase of the incident sound wave, thereby realizing single-point focusing;

[0055] The corresponding modulation phase can be represented by formula (1):

[0056]

[0057] In the formula, P i (x,y) represents the additional phase required for focusing the i-th focal point, k is the wave number in the background medium, (x i ,y i ) is the focal point coordinate, the multi-focal acoustic metasurface is located at the z=0 plane, and thus f i is the focal length, C i is a constant, the specific value of which does not change the focal point coordinate and the focal length, and is generally zero, and (x, y) represents the Cartesian coordinate.

[0058] Step 2: Based on the modulation phase formula, a complex amplitude coding method based on a binary complementary matrix is ​​used to construct a transmission coefficient matrix of the complex amplitude superposition of multiple incident focused sound fields. Based on the transmission coefficient matrix, the wavefront modulation of the incident sound wave is achieved when it passes through the multi-focal acoustic metalens;

[0059] Among them, when the incident plane acoustic wave passes through the metalens, the modulation of the wavefront by the metalens can be represented by the transmission coefficient matrix t(x, y). In order to achieve multi-point focusing of the outgoing acoustic wave in space, t(x, y) can be expressed as formula (2).

[0060]

[0061] In the formula, A i represents the amplitude of the i-th incident focused sound field, j represents the imaginary unit, P i (x,y) represents the additional phase required to focus on the i-th focus.

[0062] From the above formula, we can know that t(x,y) is the superposition of the complex amplitudes of multiple incident focused sound fields. Figure 1 (a) shows the initial amplitude A0(x,y) and phase of an arbitrary multi-point focused incident sound field. Since it is difficult for a superstructure unit to achieve simultaneous control of the amplitude and phase of the sound field, the present invention proposes a complex amplitude coding method using a binary complementary matrix, which is as follows:

[0063] Mathematically, the transmission coefficient matrix t(x,y) can be written as the superposition of two pure phase distributions, as shown in equation (3).

[0064]

[0065] Where, Indicates the maximum value of the amplitude of the incident sound field focused at any multiple points;

[0066] The two pure phase distributions can be written as:

[0067]

[0068] Where, and like Figure 1 As shown in (b). Obviously, in order to obtain the final phase The two phase maps need to be superimposed again. To this end, the present invention designs binary complementary matrices M1 and M2 to achieve the above functions. The binary complementary matrices are constructed using superpixels. Four consecutive basic pixel elements are used as a 2×2 superpixel unit. These four basic pixel elements are distinguished by the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4. The entire phase plane is divided into multiple superpixel units. The positions of the digital sequences in each superpixel unit are randomly arranged. The positions corresponding to odd numbers 1 and 3 are filled with "0", and the positions corresponding to even numbers 2 and 4 are filled with "1", thereby obtaining the first binary matrix M1. Conversely, the positions corresponding to odd numbers 1 and 3 are filled with "1", and the positions corresponding to even numbers 2 and 4 are filled with "0", thereby obtaining the second binary matrix M2. The two binary matrices M1 and M2 are complementary matrices.

[0069] Therefore, the final superposition phase It can be expressed as formula (5).

[0070]

[0071] Finally, the amplitude A(x,y) of the transmission coefficient matrix of the metalens can take any positive number, and the phase distribution is like Figure 1 As shown in (c) in the figure. The present invention forms a multi-point focused acoustic field using the above method and theoretically verifies this using angular spectrum diffraction calculations. The calculations are based on an incident plane acoustic field frequency of 500 kHz, a sound velocity of 1500 m / s, an acoustic field radius of 16λ0, where λ0 represents the wavelength of the incident acoustic wave, and a pixel spacing of 1 mm.

[0072] Step 3: Based on the modulation of the transmission coefficient matrix, the amplitude and phase of the sound field are simultaneously controlled to form a multi-point focused sound field. By adjusting the position of the focus on a preset straight line or an arbitrary closed trajectory, multiple focuses are synthesized into a sound needle or a sound vortex.

[0073] Taking the construction of a needle-shaped focus as an example, after selecting the needle-shaped focus center, half the half-length width of the Airy spot focused at that location is used as the starting basis for the focal spacing of the needle-shaped focus. A genetic algorithm is used to adjust the position of each focal point within the focusing range. As the focusing range is reduced, a needle-shaped beam with intensity fluctuation within the focusing range of less than 10% is obtained.

[0074] like Figure 2 As shown, by adjusting the position of the focus on the preset straight line, the present invention successfully constructs 16-focus, 25-focus, and 36-focus needle beams focused at 30λ0 of the meta-lens. At the same time, Figure 3 As shown, thanks to the flexibility of the binary complementary matrix for complex amplitude coding, oblique and symmetrical needle-shaped focusing are also successfully constructed by the present invention.

[0075] Numerical simulation shows that in the case of diffraction-limited, the half-width of needle focusing is affected by the central position and the geometric length of the superstructure surface, the closer the central position, the larger the superstructure surface, the smaller the half-width of the focusing center, and the focusing length can be increased with the increase of the number of focal points.

[0076] The above method also shows great application value in generating acoustic vortices. The present application selects the position of the focal point on an arbitrary closed trajectory and assigns each focal point with a periodic spiral phase in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction. To better present the acoustic vortex, the pixel interval is selected as 0.1λ0, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 It is shown that the circular acoustic vortex and the regular polygon acoustic vortex are successfully constructed by the present application. In practical applications, three-dimensional acoustic vortex construction can also be realized according to the needs by using the above method.

[0077] Taking the construction of a circular acoustic vortex as an example, the coordinates x i , y i and the additional phase C i of each focal point can be written as.

[0078]

[0079] where R represents the radius, l represents the topological charge, N represents the number of focal points, and θ n represents the polar angle of the nth focal point. As the number of focal points on the trajectory increases, the intensity distribution becomes continuous, forming an intensity ring. Then each focal point is assigned with a periodic spiral phase in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction. As the topological charge l increases, the acoustic intensity distribution along the circular trajectory becomes sharp, the acoustic field phase changes periodically, and the acoustic vortex is constructed. The constructed circular acoustic vortex ring radius and topological charge are freely adjustable. To better present the acoustic vortex, the pixel interval is selected as 0.1λ0, as shown in Figure 4 Fig. (a) shows the normalized acoustic intensity distribution of the acoustic vortex in the xz plane for l=1, -1, 2, -2, and the acoustic vortex is focused at the preset 15λ0, Figure 4 Fig. (b) shows the normalized acoustic intensity and phase distribution of the acoustic vortex in the xy plane for l=1, -1, 2, -2.

[0080] The same is true for regular polygon vortices. The coordinates of each point on a planar regular polygon can be written as:

[0081]

[0082] where q represents the number of sides of the polygon, and p represents the bending degree of the side. θ n represents the polar angle of the nth focal point, as shown in Figure 5 Fig. (a) shows that when q=3, p=10, the planar regular triangle acoustic vortex for l=1, -1, 2, -2 is successfully constructed by the present application, as shown inFigure 5 In the middle (b), when q=4, p=15, l=1, -1, 2, -2, the planar square acoustic vortex is successfully constructed by the present application.

[0083] Similarly, three-dimensional acoustic vortices can also be constructed by the same method. Non-circular symmetric perfect acoustic vortices can provide more degrees of freedom, and at the same time, multiple acoustic vortices can be generated and superimposed simultaneously, which has important application value in particle manipulation and acoustic communication.

[0084] The superlens is prepared by using a photosensitive resin material. According to the design method of the present application, a Helmholtz resonant cavity or a spatially curled structure can be used as a superlens unit to manufacture the superlens in air. In addition, an underwater superlens can also be prepared. The superlens is constructed by using photosensitive resins with different heights. The blocks of photosensitive resins with different heights are used as phase control superlens units to meet the requirements of needle focusing phase shift. In addition to PR resin, other conventional 3D printing materials can also be used for photosensitive resin.

[0085] When a vertical incident plane wave passes through a PR resin with a height of h, a certain phase shift is generated, which can be expressed as.

[0086]

[0087] wherein n represents the refractive index of the longitudinal wave of the photosensitive resin material used for preparing the superlens, is the phase shift generated when a vertical incident plane wave passes through a PR resin with a height of h, and λ0 represents the wavelength of the incident sound wave.

[0088] For example, the mass density ρ, Young's modulus E and Poisson's ratio σ of the PR resin are 1130 kg / m 3 , 2.3 GPa and 0.45, respectively. According to the formula in the third edition of "Fundamentals of Acoustics" P337-340.

[0089]

[0090] It can be obtained that the propagation speed c L of the sound wave in the PR resin is 2785 m / s, wherein λ and μ are the Lame constants. The background medium is water with a mass density of ρ w = 1000 kg / m 3 and a sound speed of c w = 1500 m / s. Further, according to n = c w / c L , the refractive index of the longitudinal wave in the PR resin is 0.54. According to equation (8), the height distribution required by the superlens can be obtained.

[0091] The application also provides a multi-focus acoustic metasurface based on complex amplitude coding designed by the design method.

[0092] In conclusion, the application provides an acoustic metasurface capable of realizing spatial multi-point focusing, including design principles, numerical calculation and production. The acoustic metasurface is made of photosensitive resin material, and the number, position, relative intensity and phase of the focal points are adjustable, realizing multi-focus synthetic acoustic needle or acoustic vortex, which is expected to obtain important applications in the fields of acoustic detection, imaging, medical treatment and the like.

In other examples, in order to avoid confusion of the application, well-known components, structures or parts are not specifically described, and are within the technical solution limited by the claims of the application.

In the above description, a large number of specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the application.
