An acoustical helicoidal wave transducer with applications for the alignment of ultrasonic and underwater systems
Abstract
A simple four-panel transducer capable of producing a beam with a screw dislocation along its axis was constructed and evaluated. A screw dislocation in a wavefront is characterized by a phase dependence about the dislocation axis that varies as exp(−imφ), where m is an integer and φ is the angle about the axis. At the axis, the phase is indeterminate and as a result there is a corresponding null in the pressure magnitude. The screw dislocation in the transducer beam is along the beam axis and is found to exist in both the far- and near-fields of the transducer. This null then clearly indicates the axis of the beam at all distances and has the potential to be used as an aid in the alignment of objects in sonar experiments or other similar applications. The helicoidal wave is also shown to possess axial angular momentum. A related transducer was summarized previously [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 103, 2971 (1998)] and is also discussed here for the purposes of comparison.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
