Abstract:
Gradient-index metasurfaces have shown a great potential for wavefront modulation and transmission/reflection control. However, the effect of loss is rarely discussed in acoustic metasurfaces. Here, we study the effect of loss in gradient-index metasurfaces and suggest its application in asymmetric transmission. For a gradient-index metasurface composed of six types of unit cells, theoretical analysis reveals that, when loss is considered, the transmission coefficients for different diffraction modes will have different responses for acoustic waves with oblique incidence. The gradient-index metasurface thus can be utilized to achieve asymmetric transmission. Numerical simulations based on effective medium and real structure are performed to validate the theoretical findings using a single layer of gradient-index metasurface. The transmission contrast can be greater than 20 times in simulations within a certain range of incident angles. This design may be useful in ultrasonic and noise control applications.
