Abstract

We study both theoretically and experimentally the possibility of resonant tunneling of acoustic waves between two parallel guides created in a phononic crystal composed of steel cylinders in water. In the absolute band gap of the phononic crystal, ranging from 250 to 325 kHz, a full transmission band exists for propagation inside a straight waveguide. We show that the transfer of a particular wavelength can occur between two parallel waveguides coupled together through an appropriate coupling structure. The latter is composed of isolated cavities interacting with stubs located at the sides of the waveguides.
