Three types of resonances are found to govern the acoustic properties of the plates: lattice resonances in periodic arrays, Fabry-Perot modes of the hole cavities, and elastic Lamb modes. The last two of them are still present in random arrays and have no parallel in optical transmission through holes. These modes are identified by comparing experiment with various levels of theoretical analysis, including full solution of the elasto-acoustic wave equations. We observe strong mixture of different transmission mechanisms, giving rise to unique acoustic behavior and opening new perspectives for exotic wave phenomena.

This is much more than a semantic question. It deals with the essential nature of matter, because sound is basically a classical-physics phenomenon, while light is deeply rooted into the quantum-mechanical description of reality. Light and sound have been confronted in numerous experiments and theories, ranging from band gap effects in photonic [2] and phononic [3] crystals to negative refraction [4] and invisibility [5] phenomena. The discovery of extraordinary optical transmission in metallic membranes perforated by subwavelength apertures [6] has raised again the question of the similarity between sound and light in the context of wave transmission. Very recently, several groups have reported on the transmission properties of sound through plates with slits [7,8] and holes [9–11]. Some groups [7–9] claim that extraordinary transmission of sound is similar to its optical counterpart in corrugated metal films. However, Hou et al. [10] have shown that, despite some similarities, intrinsic differences separate light and sound. Holes in membranes cannot sustain optical modes in the subwavelength regime. This is not the case for sound. Moreover, we have recently shown that sound has specific properties unforeseen from the perspective of optical transmission in metallic films [11]. First, extraordinary acoustic transmission is not solely determined by hole periodicity, since it is also observed in plates pierced by a random distribution of holes. More importantly, periodically perforated plates are capable of shielding sound in a wide region near the onset of diffraction much better than what is predicted by the well-known mass law [11]. This behavior, with no parallel in optics, should have important applications in soundproofing engineering. However, a detailed study is 0031-9007=09=102(14)=144301(4) still missing regarding the role of the wave vector parallel to the plate in sound transmission for oblique incidence in both periodic and random distributions of holes. In this Letter, we investigate the angular dependence of sound transmission through water-immersed aluminum plates perforated by subwavelength apertures. Our results reinforce previous findings for normal-incidence transmission [11] but otherwise show a remarkable interplay between Lamb waves and lattice modes induced by periodic distributions of holes, which is unveiled only under oblique incidence. A rich structure is observed in the measured angle and frequency distribution of transmission intensity, which is correctly described by numerical solution of the full elasto-acoustic wave equations. Partial understanding of the observed features comes from comparison of the full theory with (i) a description of the plate as a hard solid, leading to lattice resonances and the resulting extraordinary transmission features, and (ii) a real-solid homogeneous-plate description yielding the Lamb modes of the plate. However, both experiment and full real-solid theory for perforated plates reveal complex hybridization of different resonance mechanisms, leading to numerous mode anticrossings, enhancement of some of the lattice resonances, and a significant shift of the Lamb modes. Our experimental setup is based on the well-known ultrasonic immersion transmission technique [11]. The angle of incidence is varied by rotating the sample plate from 0 to 60 from normal incidence in steps of 1 . The plates used in this work are made of aluminum (density ¼ 2:7 g=cm3 , longitudinal wave velocity cl ¼ 6500 m=s, and transversal wave velocity ct ¼ 3130 m=s [12]), mechanically drilled (holes of diameter d ¼ 3 mm, periodically distributed in a squared array of period a ¼ 5 mm), and immersed in water. The measured transmission spectra are collected as a function of frequency ! and wave 144301-1 Ó 2009 The American Physical Society week ending 10 APRIL 2009 PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS PRL 102, 144301 (2009) vector kk parallel to the X direction of the plate [see Fig. 1(a)]. The frequency, angle, and parallel wave vector are related through kk ¼ k sin, where k ¼ !=c and c ¼ 1480 m=s is the speed of sound in water. Figures 1(b)–1(d) show transmission intensity maps as a function of normalized parallel wave vector kk a= and reduced frequency !a=2c for perforated plates of thickness t ¼ 1, 2, and 5 mm, respectively. A complex structure of transmission features can be observed. Their evolution with t allows us to classify them into two distinct categories: (i) The position of some of the features are relatively insensitive to t, and these are connected to lattice resonances, as we show below; (ii) other features exhibit dramatic variations with t, and these are related to intrinsic elastic modes of the film. The presence of mode anticrossings in the intersections between the two types of features indicates strong mutual coupling. We have solved the full elasto-acoustic wave equations [13] under the same conditions as in the actual sampled plates, for an infinite number of holes. The calculated results are presented in Figs. 1(e)–1(g). The method of solution involves the following steps: (i) The displacement field u and the Lamé coefficients are Fourier transformed along directions parallel to the periodic plate; (ii) the eigenstates of a 2D crystal formed by infinitely long holes with the same periodicity as the P plate are obtained by inserting the solutions uq ðrÞ ¼ G uq;G exp½iðq þ GÞ r into the wave equations, where q ¼ ðkk ; qz Þ, the sum runs over 2D reciprocal-lattice vectors G, and the wave vector along the holes qz is an eigenvalue of the resulting quadratic-algebra equations for fixed frequency [14]; (iii) Rayleigh expansions are used for the pressure in the water outside the plate, whereas the displacement field inside is expanded in terms of uq eigenstates; (iv) the continuity of the displacement and the stress in the plate boundaries leads to a set of linear equations that are solved to yield the coefficients of these expansions. This method of solution gives a rigorous expansion for finite plates, in which the thickness enters through the boundary conditions matching the internal 2D modes to the Rayleigh expansions outside the film. The calculated transmission maps [Figs. 1(e)–1(g)] are in reasonable agreement with experiment. However, it should be mentioned that some spurious modes appear when a finite number of G’s is used (1000 in Fig. 1). These modes are mainly localized in the water-aluminum interface and originate in unphysical values of the Fourier-expanded Lamé coefficients because of the large mismatch in both media. Spurious modes produce noise that can be partially removed by eliminating them from the expansion of the displacement u, although part of their effects are still discernible in Fig. 1 and increase with t. Further insight into the physical origin of the transmission features is provided by two simpler models, as shown in Fig. 2 for t ¼ 2 mm. (i) First, we have performed calculations in the hard-solid limit [Fig. 2(b)], which is equivalent to the perfect conductor idealization in electromagnetism. In this limit, the wave equations become scalar in terms of the pressure field , which satisfies Helmholz’s equation ðr2 þ k2 Þ ¼ 0 in the water and is subject to the condition that its normal derivative vanishes at the interface with the solid. This approximation leads to excellent results when the sound velocity mismatch between solid and water is large (for example, in brass [11]). This model produces transmission maxima at slightly lower frequencies with respect to the onset of diffraction (i.e., when a Bragg beam G becomes grazing [15]), which under the conditions of Fig. 1(a) leads to qffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi jkk þ Gj ¼ ðkk þ 2n=aÞ2 þ ð2m=aÞ2 ¼ !=c: (1) (b) (c) (d) 1.1 (a) π ω 1 0.9 0.8 0.7 =1 mm exp. 0.6 1.2 =2 mm exp.

(d) Numerical solution of the full elasto-acoustic wave equations for the actual perforated aluminum plate. The transmission is represented in dB gray scale. The transmission vanishes right when this condition is satisfied. Different values of the Miller indices ðn; mÞ produce the dashed curves of Figs. 2(a), 2(b), and 2(d). Like in the optical case, these transmission resonances are driven by lattice-sum singularities originating in cumulative in-phase scattering among the holes of the array [15,16]. For sufficiently thick samples, Fabry-Perot resonances are also predicted to play a dominant role [11]. (ii) Another insightful approach consists in examining homogeneous films [Fig. 2(c)], the transmission properties of which are dominated by the presence of Lamb modes [12]. These resonances reduce to S0 and A0 for t ¼ 2 mm, and, in particular, the A0 mode is mixed with a ScholteStoneley mode near grazing incidence. This is reasonable because this mode (unlike Lamb oscillations) is confined to the surface in a similar way as surface-plasmon polaritons in metals. The measurement in the t ¼ 2 mm drilled plate [Fig. 2(a)] resembles the hard-solid theory [Fig. 2(b)]. Both of them show transmission dips at the onset of diffraction [Eq. (1)] and transmission maxima at slightly lower frequency, similar to what happens in optical transmission as a result of the interplay between finite hole polarization and divergent interhole interaction [16]. However, a new mode consistent with S0 appears and strongly interacts with the lattice resonances at kk a= 0:6 and 1.0 in the experiment. This interaction is well reproduced by the full wave calculation [Fig. 2(d)]. The Lamb mode crosses the ð1; 0Þ lattice-sum singularity, meets the crossing of the ð0; 1Þ and ð1; 1Þ features at the boundary of the first Brillouin zone, where it has zero group velocity, as predicted by the two-band model [17], and then falls down with negative group velocity outside that zone. A similar behavior is observed for thinner plates [Figs. 1(b) and 1(e)]. As a rule, the low-frequency S0 mode of the perforated plates is significantly less steep than in nonperforated plates [cf. Figs. 2(a) and 2(c)], implying smaller group velocity (i.e., the effective holey-plate parameters correspond to smaller Lamé coefficients compared to the homogeneous aluminum plate and therefore lower elastic wave velocities). The interaction between lattice resonances and Lamb modes becomes more involved when the thickness increases, as shown in Figs. 1(d) and 1(g) for t ¼ 5 mm. In homogeneous aluminum plates of the same thickness (see auxiliary material [18]), the A0 Lamb mode moves to lower wave vector values, away from the Scholte-Stoneley mode, while the A1 Lamb mode appears in our range of measurement. As a result, the S0 mode is much fainter in the t ¼ 5 mm perforated plate compared to plates of smaller thickness, but we observe instead a rich elastic-mode structure with high transmission values above the ð1; 0Þ latticesum singularity. Furthermore, the near-normal-incidence measured transmission in the pierced thick plate [Fig. 1(d)] exhibits a peak originating in a Fabry-Perot resonance, flanked by a lower lattice resonance, as inferred by comparison with hard-solid theory [11]. Also, the transmission features become broader in thicker plates.

The rich interplay between lattice modes and intrinsic plate modes in the ordered array [Fig. 3(a)] is completely absent in the random sample. However, the latter displays a feature resembling the S0 Lamb mode of the homogeneous plate [cf. Figs. 2(c) and 3(b)]. Interestingly, the Fourier transform of the 2D distribution of geometrical openings in random arrays shows a broad annular maximum with a radius close to a=, which gives rise to a broad dark region near normal incidence, close to the lattice resonance of the ordered array [19]. The phase velocity of the lowfrequency S0 mode is found to be 3150 m=s in both perforated plates, which seems to respond to the average elastic parameters of the water-aluminum holey sample as noted above, quite different from the faster S0 mode of the pure aluminum plate [5486 m=s, Fig. 2(c)]. In contrast to random arrays, the phononic crystal generated for the Lamb waves in periodic arrangements [20] could interact with Fabry-Perot resonances and lattice-driven modes, although further research is needed to address this issue. In summary, the angle-resolved acoustic transmission through perforated plates exhibits both lattice resonances, which are similar in nature to their extraordinary optical transmission counterpart, and excitation of intrinsic elastic Lamb modes of the plates. The latter constitute a genuine aspect of sound transmission. These two types of modes interact with each other and produce the complex transmission patterns reported here through both measurements and full solution of the elasto-acoustic wave equations (Fig. 1). The nature of the modes becomes clear when comparing these results with the calculated transmission of either a homogeneous plate, dominated by Lamb modes, or a hard-solid drilled plate, showing lattice resonances (Fig. 2). The interplay between lattice and intrinsic resonances, their interaction with Fabry-Perot modes of the hole cavities, and the partial transparency of real materials to sound define altogether a new scenario in wave transmission through subwavelength apertures and open up a source of novel phenomena and applications of the field of sound transmission through real materials structured at subwavelength scales.

Like in optics, the strength of the hole polarization is proportional to p ¼ 1=ð1 GÞ, where is the hole polarizability and G is the sum of the interaction of each hole with all other holes in the array [16]. The real part of the sum G is usually divergent under the conditions of Eq. (1) in ordered arrays, and this is directly related to the divergence of the Fourier transform of the hole distribution [Fig. 3(c)], whereas the imaginary part is partially compensated by 1 . In random arrays, G has broader, smaller maxima, accompanied by a significant imaginary part, and still leading to small values of p [i.e., depleted transmission in Fig. 3(b)] but not to enhanced transmission.

For thin plates, the lattice resonances predicted by the hardsolid model can be clearly identified in the observed spectra. However, thicker plates show strong hybridization with intrinsic acoustic modes of the plate (Lamb and Scholte-Stoneley modes), which can give rise to strong transmission. In particular, Scholte-Stoneley modes are fluid-solid interface modes similar to surface plasmon polaritons for electromagnetic waves. We show these modes in Fig. 1 for homogeneous aluminum plates as a function of parallel wavevector kk and frequency ω, normalized to the thickness t and calculated from a simple fluid-solid-fluid model [1]. Within the range of measurement in our experiments, only S0 , A0 , and A1 modes are observed. For thin plates (t = 2 mm and t = 3 mm), only S0 and A0 show up (see Figs. 1 and 2 of the main paper). However, the A1 mode is also present in the thicker plate (t = 5 mm, see Fig. 3 of the main paper). For this low frequency limit, the phase velocity of the S0 mode is given by [2] s cp = 2ct 1− c2t c2l where ct and cl are the bulk transversal and longitudinal acoustic phase velocities, respec- 4 0.9 3.5 A2 0.8 3 0.7 ωt/2πc 2.5 S2 2 1.5 0.6 S1 0.5 0.4 A1 0.3 1 S0 A0 0.5 0 0.2 Scholte-Stoneley 0.5 1 0.1 1.5 2 k t/2π || FIG. 1: Transmission calculations (gray linear scale) for a homogeneous aluminum plate as a function of parallel wavevector kk and frequency ω, both of them normalized with the plate thickness t.
