In time reversal acoustics experiments, a signal is emitted from a localized source, recorded at an array of receivers-transducers, time reversed, and finally re-emitted into the medium. A celebrated feature of time reversal experiments is…

The time reversal symmetry of the wave equation allows wave refocusing back at the source. However, this symmetry does not hold in lossy media. We present a new strategy to compensate wave amplitude losses due to attenuation. The strategy…
Lossless linear wave propagation is symmetric in time, a principle which can be used to create time reversed waves. Such waves are special 'pre-scattered' spatiotemporal fields, which propagate through a complex medium as if observing a…

Wavefield focusing is often achieved by Time-Reversal Mirrors, where wavefields emitted by a source located at the focal point are evaluated at a closed boundary and sent back, after Time-Reversal, into the medium from that boundary.…

We show that short pulses propagating in zero-gap periodic systems can be reversed with 100% efficiency by using weak non-adiabatic tuning of the wave velocity at time-scales that can be much slower than the period. Unlike previous schemes,…
When a signal is emitted from a source, recorded by an array of transducers, time reversed and re-emitted into the medium, it will refocus approximately on the source location. We analyze the refocusing resolution in a high frequency,…
We propose a mathematical theory for the refocusing properties observed in time-reversal experiments, where classical waves propagate through a medium, are recorded in time, then time-reversed and sent back into the medium. The salient…
