Abstract

Efficient emission of directional sound waves is critical in imaging and communication, yet is held back by the inefficient emission at low frequencies, especially for a small source. A subwavelength enclosure with degenerate Mie resonances was implemented to experimentally enhance the sound power emitted to the far field where the radiation directivity pattern is preserved [L. Maryam et al., Physical Review Letters 120 (11), 114301, 2018]. When considering the efficient emission of directional sound waves, a subwavelength meta-cavity of hybrid resonances can be used to convert the monopole sources to multipole emission [X. Fan et al., Physical Review Applied 9 (3), 034035, 2018] or Mie resonances with spatial asymmetry can be used to even emit directional sound beams [J. Zhao et al., Scientific reports 8 (1), 1018, 2018]. The work offers a practical path toward applications that demand miniaturization of speakers for efficient emission.
