Abstract:
The recent development of acoustic metasurfaces has broadened the capabilities of wave engineering devices with a compact profile. However, the application of acoustic metasurfaces in many scenarios has been limited by their bandwidths. In this work, we report the realization of broadband acoustic metasurfaces that deliver frequency-independent functionalities. Three examples are demonstrated, namely beam steering, focusing and acoustic levitation with fixed refraction angle, constant focal depth and stable levitation. This is achieved by analyzing the requirement of each functionality and engineering the dispersion of the unit cells. The architecture of the unit cells is obtained through inverse design and each unit cell displays a unique dispersive response outlined by the theoretical requirements. The designed metasurface is experimentally verified and we demonstrate a fractional bandwidth of around 100% for all three functionalities. We also attempt to reveal the mechanism for such broadband by characterizing the behavior of representative unit cells.
