  • Patent number: 11437013
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an ultra-thin acoustic lens for subwavelength focusing in a megasonic range and a design method thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to a super-oscillatory planar ultra-thin acoustic lens for subwavelength focusing in the megasonic range, which includes a plurality of concentric regions arranged in a concentric shape with reference to the center point, wherein the concentric regions include a plurality acoustic insulation region for insulating incident acoustic waves, and a plurality of transmission regions for transmitting acoustic waves, the acoustic insulation regions and the transmission regions being formed alternatively in a radial direction from the center point so as to focus incident acoustic wave energy onto a subwavelength region.

  • Patent number: 9711132
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an acoustic lens using a Fresnel zone plate, a design method and a manufacturing method of the acoustic lens, a focusing ultrasonic transducer to which the acoustic lens is applied, and a manufacturing method of the focusing ultrasonic transducer. More specifically, an acoustic lens using a Fresnel zone plate which is applied to a focusing ultrasonic transducer. The acoustic lens includes a plurality of concentric regions which is concentrically disposed with respect to a center point. In the concentric region, a sound insulation region which blocks an entering sound wave and a transmission region which transmits the sound wave are alternately formed in a radial direction from the center point, and the entering sound wave is focused near a focal point.
