Abstract
We study theoretically and experimentally the acoustic Purcell effect induced by quasi-bound states in the continuum (quasiBICs). A theoretical framework describing the acoustic Purcell effect of a resonant system is developed based on the system’s radiative and dissipative factors, which reveals the critical emission condition for achieving optimum Purcell factors. We show that the quasiBICs contribute to highly confined acoustic field and bring about greatly enhanced acoustic emission, leading to strong Purcell effect. Our concept is demonstrated via two coupled resonators supporting a Friedrich–Wintgen quasiBIC, and the theoretical results are validated by the experiments observing emission enhancement of the sound source by nearly two orders of magnitude. Our work bridges the gap between the acoustic Purcell effect and acoustic BICs essential for enhanced wave-matter interaction and acoustic emission, which may contribute to the research of high-intensity sound sources, high-quality-factor acoustic devices and nonlinear acoustics.
