Abstract
With their thin thicknesses and unprecedent wave manipulation capabilities, acoustic metasurfaces have a
great potential to be applied in a wide range of applications. Most existing metasurfaces are passive devices.
Although passive devices are easy to implement and consume no energy, one major shortcoming of passive
devices is their fixed and limited functionality, which greatly limits their application scope. To increase the
functionalities of a metasurface and yet still maintain its passivity, we propose to use the wave frequency as
a tuning freedom to realize multiple functionalities in one single passive device. Specifically, the passive
metasurface will be designed to possess different functions at different operation frequencies. By changing
the wave frequency, the metasurface will switch its functionalities. In this talk, we will present the general
design methodology, which is based on multi-objective topology optimization and genetic algorithm. Several
frequency-encoded multifunctional acoustic metasurfaces, for example, a metasurface that can perform
wave focusing and beam steering, designed using the methodology will be demonstrated. Both simulation
and experimental results will be presented and compared. In addition, the underlying mechanisms of
multifunctional characteristics will be discussed.
