An exemplary embodiment provides matching media for perfect transmission of ultrasonic waves by easily implementing perfect transmission of ultrasonic waves at a boundary between different elastic media through a matching layer provided at the boundary between the different elastic media and proposes a matching layer having a single layer structure of a simple single pattern that is easily processed, thereby easily implementing effects such as miniaturization of the matching layer, reduction of manufacturing cost, and improvement of manufacturability. The matching medium for perfect transmission of ultrasonic waves according to an exemplary embodiment includes a matching layer that is provided with a single pattern under a perfect transmission condition at a boundary between an incident medium and a transmission medium to perfectly transmit the ultrasonic waves incident from the incident medium to the transmission medium, wherein the matching layer forms a single pattern by controlling a plurality of predetermined design variables.

Matching media for perfect transmission of ultrasonic waves

An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides an anisotropic medium for full transmission of obliquely incident elastic waves considering a longitudinal wave and a shear wave by using an anisotropic medium designed to fully transmit elastic waves in a desired mode when elastic waves are obliquely incident to a boundary of different media. The anisotropic medium for fully transmitting an obliquely incident elastic wave according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes: an incident medium to which an incident elastic wave including a longitudinal wave and a shear wave, and being obliquely incident with a predetermined incidence angle, is incident and reflected; a transmission medium to which a transmitting elastic wave including a longitudinal wave and a shear wave is transmitted; and an anisotropic medium, installed between the incident medium and the transmission medium, for blocking reflection of a predetermined reflecting elastic wave as a predetermined full transmission condition is satisfied, and fully transmitting a transmitting elastic wave in a predetermined type of full transmission, wherein the full transmission condition includes a phase matching condition based on a wavenumber relationship of an eigenmode in the anisotropic medium, and a polarization matching condition based on a relationship between a polarization vector and an amplitude of the eigenmode.
