Realization of an ultrathin acoustic lens for subwavelength focusing in the megasonic range

Abstract In this study, we report the first experimental realization of an ultrathin (0.14λ, λ = 1.482 mm means wavelength at 1 MHz in the water medium) subwavelength focusing acoustic lens that can surpass the Rayleigh diffraction limit (0.61λ/NA, NA means numerical aperture). It is termed a Super-...
