The development of a method of phase correction is discussed. Previous phase-correction methods have often required the input of an operator in order to extract phase information from the target spectrum. The use of this Fourier-domain phase-correction technique is discussed specifically in terms of its application to coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectra. The extraction of phase information and subsequent phase correction are discussed.

Phase aberrations due to tissue inhomogeneities degrade medical ultrasound images by disrupting the ultrasound beam focus. Currently, phase correction algorithms are implemented by adjusting the electronic phase delays used to steer and focus the ultrasound beam. This means that a two-dimensional array is necessary to completely correct two-dimensional aberrations in tissue. However, two-dimensional arrays are a complex option due to their large number of elements and poor sensitivity. Instead of using a full two-dimensional array, a new technique is proposed, similar to one used in adaptive optics, which uses a deformable transducer of significantly fewer channels for two-dimensional phase correction. Phase correction in azimuth is achieved by altering the electronic phase delay of the element. However, phase correction in elevation is achieved by tilting the element in elevation with a piezoelectric actuator. Comparison of simulations of the new phase correction transducer versus the conventional phase correction technique have shown that a deformable 1 × N or 2 × N transducer can approach the image quality of a 4 × N two-dimensional array or greater. A prototype 1 times 32 array with eight low frequency piezoelectric actuators has been constructed such that every four ultrasonic transducer elements in azimuth are mounted on one independently controlled actuator. This prototype transducer was used to test the ability of a deformable array to produce real time phased array scans and to simulate on-line phase correction by tilting the elements in the elevation direction.

Abstract In this paper, we present a thickness-contrast based flat lens for subwavelenth imaging in an aluminum plate. The lens is made of phononic crystal (PC) with a triangular lattice arrangement of through holes drilled over an aluminum plate. Subwave-length imaging is achieved by exploiting the concept of negative refraction of A0 plate mode for the optical dispersion branch of the PC. The wavenumbers are matched at a design frequency by creating a step change in the thickness of the PC-lens and host plate. The thickness-contrast results in refractive index of minus one at the interface of the lens and host plate. Negative refraction-based lens overcomes the diffraction limit and enables focusing of flexural waves in an area less than a square wavelength. We validate the flat lens design at a single design frequency through numerical simulations and experiments. Further, we numerically demonstrate the tunability of the lens design over a broadband frequency range by modifying the thickness-contrast between the lens and host plate. The proposed frequency tunable design is promising for many applications such as ultrasonic inspection, tetherless energy transfer, and energy harvesting, where the localization of wave energy in a small spot is desirable.
