Abstract

This presentation will discuss the possibility of using path-diverting scatterers in time reversal focusing to achieve super resolution. In particular, use of a one-dimensional pipe system with varying lengths of diverting pipes is shown to decrease the effective wave speed. This provides insight, albeit in an extreme case, of how scatterers can force sound to travel a longer path as the waves converge to the focal location. As the effective wave speed decreases, the spatial extent of the focusing decreases, creating an apparent super resolution when compared to the speed of sound in an unaltered pipe system. Previous work achieved super resolution with what they described as scatterers, but it is likely that their scatterers are better classified as resonators, and consequently, it has yet to be shown that scatterers can be used to obtain super resolution.
