Zusammenfassung: | A numerical demonstration is given of the feasibility of a newly designed tunable asymmetric acoustic transmission device, for which the acoustic transmission coefficients for perpendicularly incident left- and right-running waves are different at a particular single frequency within a forbidden zone. The proposed device consists of a hybrid, sonic-crystal-based resonant structure with horizontal periodicity and a one-dimensional periodic rectangular acoustic grating with vertical periodicity. The former structure exhibits a wide bandgap through which only waves with particular combinations of their frequency and propagation direction can tunnel. The direction dependence of the acoustic transmission is based on the geometrical asymmetry of the placement of the grating, and on the narrowband correspondence between the diffraction angle of the grating and the allowed transmission direction through the sonic-crystal-based structure. Angular and spectral tuning are possible by changing the grating and/or the sonic crystal periodicity. The device has potential applications in underwater acoustics for asymmetric transmission systems and secure communication systems. |
