Breaking the acoustic diffraction limit with an arbitrary shape acoustic magnifying lens

Abstract Based on the transformation acoustics methodology, the design principle for achieving an arbitrary shape magnifying lens (ASML) is proposed. Contrary to the previous works, the presented ASML is competent of realizing far-field high resolution images and breaking the diffraction limit, rega...
