Abstract
The present disclosure provides systems and methods associated with mode conversion for ultrasound and acoustic radiation devices. A method is disclosed for manufacturing a mode converting structure comprising a holographic metamaterial that, when positioned relative to an acoustic radiation device (AR), modifies an acoustic field profile of the AR device from an input mode to an output mode, the method including identifying a volumetric distribution of acoustic material properties within the mode converting structure to transform an input pressure field distribution of acoustic radiation in the input mode to an output field distribution of acoustic radiation that approximates the target radiation pattern in the output mode and manufacturing the mode converting structure using the identified volumetric distribution of acoustic material properties.
