Abstract

The principle of forming a special form of powerful acoustic signals is proposed, which makes it possible to ensure precise spatiotemporal beam focusing. The introduction of a transverse-coordinate-dependent local wave frequency is suggested, due to which the equality of the formation lengths of a discontinuity for all rays is achieved. This thereby ensures an increase in nonlinear absorption; as a result, the temperature and radiation action of focused ultrasound on the medium increase.
