This study proposes a gradient phononic crystal structure for enhanced acoustic sensing. By breaking the symmetry of the PC structure, topologically protected edge states are introduced, resulting in topological acoustic rainbow trapping. The robustness and enhancement properties are verified numerically and experimentally.
In this letter, a gradient phononic crystal (PC) structure is proposed for robust enhanced acoustic sensing. At first, the topologically protected edge states are introduced by breaking the space-inversion symmetry of the PC structure. Then, the topological edge mode dispersion curve and group velocity are demonstrated to be regulated by varying the structure parameters gradually and the edge states can be slowed down to zero group velocity and trapped at different positions. Consequently, topological acoustic rainbow trapping is formed. Furthermore, the robustness and enhancement properties are verified both numerically and experimentally. All the results indicate that the gradient PC structure is able to realize robust enhanced acoustic sensing. This work opens a new vista to improve the robustness of the PC-based enhanced acoustic sensing.
