Abstract

This paper reports the application of a porous medium as an aperiodic metamaterial lens for ultrasonic imaging in the context of nondestructive evaluation and non-invasive diagnostics. Experimental results are presented, demonstrating a deep sub-wavelength imaging down to 1/36th of the operating wavelength, which is the highest resolution demonstrated worldwide using bulk ultrasound. The improvement in the resolution is shown to be linked to aperiodicity overcoming the Wood anomaly, which sets limits on wave transmission by holey structured lenses.
