Abstract
In this paper, we are interested in focusing a pressure field through a plane interface separating two fluids with different acoustical properties. The expected focal point is located in fluid 1 at the origin of the spatial coordinate system, the interface is in the plane z = h > 0, and the emitting (and receiving) surface is in fluid 2 in the plane z = Z > h.
