Abstract

The acoustic diode is an application of metamaterial in the nonlinear acoustics regime. Here, the broken time reversal symmetry is achieved by introducing a nonlinear medium made of nonlinear phononic crystal. The acoustic diode has potential application in acoustical imaging such as medical imaging with the elimination of acoustic disturbances caused by sound waves going in two directions at the same time and interfering with each other. The propagation direction of output wave can be controlled freely and precisely. This enables clearer images.
