Abstract

A new method for the creation of patterned, focused, optically generated acoustic fields using a single optical pulse is introduced. This utilises multi-layer `holograms' composed of several spatially separate absorbing layers. Each layer is individually patterned so as to focus at a set of targeted points. To create the patterns, a ray-tracing model was implemented to calculate the impulse response of pixels within each absorbing layer to a set of targeted points. An optimisation approach was then used to find the optimal pattern for each layer to create a field evenly focused at each of the target points. The method was validated using both numerical simulations and acoustic field measurements. It was demonstrated that a 3×3 array of acoustic foci could be generated from a 3-layer hologram using a single laser pulse.
