Sound absorption is an important technological task in machine-building and civil engineering. Porous materials are traditionally used for these purposes, as they are neither ignitable nor hygroscopic and thus suitable for noise oppression,…
The capability of optical resonators to extend the effective radiation-matter interaction length originates from a multipass effect, hence is intrinsically limited by the resonator quality factor. Here, we show that this constraint can be…

Causal nature of the acoustic response, for any materials or structures, dictates an inequality that relates the absorption spectrum of the sample to its thickness. We present a general recipe for constructing sound-absorbing structures…
