In this study, we show that robust and tunable acoustic asymmetric transmission can be achieved through gradient-index metasurfaces by harnessing judiciously tailored losses. We theoretically prove that the asymmetric wave behavior stems from loss-induced suppression of high order diffraction. We further experimentally demonstrate this novel phenomenon. Our findings could provide new routes to broaden applications for lossy acoustic metamaterials and metasurfaces.
在本研究中,我们表明,通过巧妙地利用量身定制的损耗,可通过梯度折射率超表面实现稳健且可调的声学非对称传输。我们从理论上证明,非对称波行为源于损耗引起的高阶衍射抑制。我们进一步通过实验证明了这一新颖现象。我们的发现可为拓展有损声学超材料和超表面的应用提供新途径。
