Abstract
Coupled resonance enables many intriguing physical phenomena, leading to wave control and sensing. This review discusses fundamental understanding of coupled resonance by providing detailed comparison between lumped parameter-based models including coupled mode theory (CMT) and harmonic oscillator model (HOM). While reviewing recent progress in research concerning coupled resonance, emerging research areas related to coupled resonance are discussed.
1 Introduction
Resonance phenomena are universal, which are observed for all different types of systems based on vibrations or waves, concerning mechanical resonance, acoustic resonance, electromagnetic resonance and etc [1]. Resonance enables small periodic excitation to produce large amplitude oscillations when the excitation frequency matches with a natural frequency of the system (i.e., resonance frequency). Therefore, such resonant systems lead to many intriguing applications for wave sensing and wave control [2]. Particularly, resonant sensors having amplified responses at resonance provide high sensitivity and accuracy while effectively rejecting ambient noises. Moreover, amplified oscillation energy at resonance can be converted into other type of useful energy (e.g., electricity) [3–5]. On top of energy amplification, resonance causes abrupt phase change with respect to the resonance frequency, allowing wave interference for wave cancellation [6]. For example, resonant oscillation can counteract unwanted reflection for wave absorption [7–9].
Resonant metamaterials permit subwavelength unit structures for compact design while enabling unprecedented control of waves [10], which is based on effective parameters such as negative mass density, negative bulk modulus [11], or doubly negative mass density and bulk modulus [12, 13]. Intriguing phenomena include negative refraction [14], cloaking [15, 16] and super-lensing [17]. Also, other interesting features demonstrated with resonant structures are sound tunneling (bull’s eye) [18], and extreme impedance matching between media having large mismatch [19–21].
To increase the coverage area or maximize the interaction between wave and resonators, multiple resonators are implemented. Coupled resonances enable a rich of interesting physics such an exceptional point (EP) in non-Hermitian systems [22, 23], Fano resonance [24], electromagnetically-induced transparency (EIT) [6], and Rabi splitting [24]. These various resonance phenomena are realized depending on the coupling strength relative to the leakage (or loss) rate. The coupling strength characterizes energy exchange between the constituent resonators while the leakage (loss) rate describes the energy leakage (loss) in each resonator. To investigate the characteristics of the coupled resonators, these system parameters (coupling strength, leakage and loss rates), as lumped parameters, are used in lumped parameter-based models such as coupled mode theory (CMT) [25, 26] and harmonic oscillator model (HOM) [27, 28]. The lumped parameters used in these models permit to intuitively classify physical phenomena, although other approaches including impedance analysis [29], transfer matrix [30], and scattering matrix [31] have been widely used to characterize overall system performance.
In this review, fundamental aspects of resonance and resonant coupling are discussed in the context of lumped parameter-based models such as HOM and CMT. The lumped parameter models are thoroughly compared and the analytical formulas of the lumped parameters are summarized for simple cases. Based on such fundamental understanding, various interesting resonance phenomena are investigated, but our discussion mainly focuses on critical coupling, exceptional point, and Fano resonance. Lastly, emerging research areas concerning resonant coupling are investigated for diverse systems having non-local coupling, non-reciprocal coupling, and time-modulated interaction.
2 Theory
Acoustic resonators enable the localization of energy spatially and the amplification of acoustic energy at resonance. There are three representative resonators such as Helmholtz, quarter-wavelength, and membrane-type resonators, as illustrated in Figure 1A. These resonators can be modeled as a spring-mass system (i.e., harmonic oscillator). With and without intrinsic damping, they can be lossy and lossless resonators. The acoustic resonators promote flexibility in various designs by often implementing a space-coiled approach [32–34]. Also, Mie scattering resonators are constructed by using a plurality of resonators integrated into a subwavelength scatterer, exhibiting higher order resonance modes [35].
FIGURE 1
Acoustic devices consisting of a finite number of resonators (e.g., linear or circular array) control incident acoustic waves or maximize interaction with acoustic waves, as shown in Figures 1B,C. Such coupled systems are manifested as superscattering [36–38] and purcell effect [39]. Moreover, periodic acoustic resonators composed of unit cells are widely employed for various scenarios (Figures 1D,E), although such a system should be truncated to a finite number of resonators in a realistic situation. Acoustic devices having periodic resonators are much larger than the wavelength such that they are treated as a system having an infinite number of resonators. The unit cell can contain single or multiple resonators. Acoustic resonators in a waveguide are highly related to duct systems, as illustrated in Figures 1F,G. These resonators in a waveguide are regarded as the same as the periodic systems (Figures 1D,E) when the width of the waveguide (period in periodic resonators) is smaller than the wavelength. Because of this similarity, the periodic systems can be characterized by testing a unit device in a waveguide (or impedance tube).
Various intriguing phenomena are enabled by coupled resonances, which can be analytically characterized by approaches using lumped parameters. These approaches include the harmonic oscillator model (HOM) and coupled-mode theory (CMT). Such lumped parameter-based approaches provide physical insights into resonance coupling between a resonator and waves or resonators. Both HOM and CMT are systematically discussed and compared. In addition, coupling rate and leakage rate, essential lumped parameters used for HOM and CMT, are characterized for a simple case, providing a tangible sense of coupled systems.
2.1 Coupled harmonic oscillator model
The coupled equations of motion is represented by [40].where x is the displacement, m is the mass, k is the stiffness, Γ is the leakage rate, Δ is the intrinsic loss, K is the resonance coupling, F is the force, and the subscript 1 (2) indicates the resonator 1 (2). Here, coupling of the two resonators is described by the damping matrix having the off-diagonal term (K). Resonance coupling can be also characterized by the stiffness matrix having the off-diagonal term (stiffness coupling, Q or q = Q/m).
For e−iωt and no external forces (F1(2) = 0), eigenvalues and eigenvectors are determined fromwhere γ = Γ/m, δ = Δ/m, κ = K/m, . The units of γ, δ, and κ are given as 1/s. The quadratic eigenvalue problem of Eq. 2 is solved to find scalar eigenvalues.
To gain insight from Eq. 2 and compare it with CMT, we assume operating frequencies close to the resonance frequencies. With the assumption of ω1 ≈ ω and ω2 ≈ ω, Eq. 2 is approximated as [41].
The 2 × 2 Hamiltonian is expressed bywhere κ′ = −iκ. For two resonators having stiffness coupling (q = Q/m), κ′ is given by κ′ = q/ω1(2).
2.2 Coupled mode theory
For two resonators, coupled-mode equations in the time domain are represented by [25].where a is the mode amplitude ( is the resonant mode energy) and . The CMT is validated for weak coupling (i.e., ω1(2) ≫ γ1(2), κ).
With a1(2) ∝ e−iωt, the Hamiltonian is represented by
It is found that Eq. 6 is identical to Eq. 4 of HOM with the approximation. The eigenvalues of this Hamiltonian are where ξ = (γ1 + δ1 + γ2 + δ2)/2 and χ = α + iβ with α = (ω1 − ω2)/2 and β = (γ1 + δ1 − γ2 − δ2). Although the Hamiltonian matrices of CMT and HOM are exactly the same, the definitions of γ and κ can be slightly different because a1(2) of CMT and x1(2) of HOM represent the mode amplitude and the displacement, respectively. This will be discussed in the following section.
2.3 HOM versus CMT
The two models can be used to describe any coupled resonators. From Eqs 1, 5, it is noted that HOM is expressed by the second order differential equation whereas CMT is characterized with the first time derivative. For a single resonator having no intrinsic loss (δ = 0), the equations of motion and mode amplitude for HOM and CMT are described respectively by
Here, f is given by F/m (N/kg) and f′ is set to be αf/ω0 so as to compare the two models in the same units. γ′ is given by αγ, as the leakage rate of CMT is adjusted from that of HOM. For α = 1, γ′ = γ. Figure 2 shows a comparison between the two models for two damping values γ = 0.03ω0 and 0.3ω0. For a low leakage rate of γ = 0.03ω0 and no adjustment (γ = γ′), HOS shows a significant difference from CMT, as shown in Figure 2A. With a proper adjustment of α = 0.5, CMT exhibits an excellent agreement with HOS [42]. This indicates , and such a difference is explained by CMT being constructed by the mode amplitude while HOM by the displacement. For a high leakage rate of γ = 0.3ω0, CMT considerably deviates from HOM even with an optimum adjustment of α = 0.5, as shown in Figure 2B. This comparison indicates that CMT is only valid for a relatively low leakage rate, as this is assumed when CMT is derived.
FIGURE 2
The two models are further compared for coupled resonators. The eigenvalues of two resonators are calculated, as the real part of the eigenvalues is plotted as a function of the coupling rate κ in Figures 2C,D. For simplicity, the coupled system consists of lossless and lossy resonators having identical resonance frequency (ω1 = ω2) and reciprocal stiffness coupling (Q1 = Q2 = Q). While CMT uses and , HOM solves the quadratic eigenvalue problem without any approximation. For low damping (γ = 0.03ω0), the CMT result matches well with the HOM result, as plotted in Figure 2C. The eigenvalues collapse when , which is consistent with typical exception point condition. Such a good agreement between CMT and HOM is not guaranteed for high damping (γ = 0.3ω0), as shown in Figure 2D. Note that in addition to the disagreement, the eigenvalues of HOM do not collapse although ω1 = ω2. We find that for high damping, the eigenvalue coalescence in HOM occurs for a de-tuned resonance of Δω = |ω1 − ω2| = 0.01ω0.
This indicates that CMT is a good approximation for relatively low dampings. Although CMT-based results deviate from those of HOM for relatively high damping, CMT provides an physical insight into the coupled system. The lumped parameters used in CMT enable us to explicitly compare the damping rates with the coupling rate characterizing the coupling between the constituent resonators.
2.4 Radiation leakage rate and coupling rate
The radiation leakage Γ (=mγ) is related to interaction between Resonator 1 (area S1) and radiated waves by oscillating Resonator 1 (velocity U0), which is characterized by complex leakage rate given by . The radiation leakage Γ is represented as a unit (kg/s). Here, is the leakage rate while with ma being the added mass. This added mass leads to increased effective mass (me = m + ma) and has something to do with end correction in Helmholtz resonators. Similarly, the coupling rate K (=mκ) between resonators (S1 and S2) is expressed by , where the radiated pressure waves from Resonator 1 (S1) are integrated to Resonator 2 (S2), i.e., . The imaginary part of induces the resonance frequency change. The radiation leakage and coupling rates are numerically calculated. For some simple cases, these parameters can be analytically determined.
2.4.1 Free field
For 2D cases, and are analytically calculated, as shown in Eq. 3(a). For a single resonator (width: s) on a semi-infinite rigid body, the complex leakage rate is given by [43, 44].where λ is the wavelength and γE is the Euler’s constant of γE = 0.5332. Here, is wavelength-dependent. From the imaginary part of , the added mass is characterized as , which induces a resonance frequency shift. The leakage rate is also characterized by resistance for its real part and reactance for its imaginary part. The reactance is related to the evanescent modes so that it needs to be considered for near field calculation. The coupling rate between the two resonators having a distance of d is represented bywith being the zero-order Hankel function of the second kind.
Both leakage rate and coupling rate are derived from the two-dimensional dipole Rayleigh integral. As plotted in Figure 3B, the complex leakage rate is calculated as a function of the resonator width (s). The real part of the leakage rate increases with s while the imaginary part saturates and decreases for larger s. Moreover, the coupling rate is plotted as a function of d, exhibiting a decrease in |κ| with increasing d while circling the origin, as shown in Figure 3C.
FIGURE 3
2.4.2 Waveguide
For a single resonator (width s) in a 1D waveguide (1 port) having a width of D, the complex leakage rate is given by [45].Here, kw is the wave number and . For D ≪ λ, wave modes are limited to a plane wave mode such that (more generally, with resonator’s surface area Sos and duct’s cross sectional area Sd). For a two-port system, the leakage rate reduces by half, i.e., , since the radiated wave can propagate toward each port. Moreover, the coupling rate for D ≪ λ is given by , as the two resonators in a waveguide are arranged in Figure 3D. Both real and imaginary parts of the leakage rate increase as a function of s in Figure 3E. The coupling rate becomes a circle in the complex plot for a larger d, while for smaller d, the coupling rate exhibits the imaginary part greater than the real part, as shown in Figure 3F.
3 Physical concepts related to coupled resonance
3.1 Critical coupling
Coupling in a single resonator occurs between the resonator and wave (surrounding), as illustrated in Figure 4A. Such coupling is characterized as leakage rate (γ). In this case, three different coupling regimes are realized depending on leakage rate (γ) relative to loss rate (δ): critical coupling, under-coupling (γ < δ), and over-coupling (γ > δ), as summarized in Figure 4C. The critical coupling states that the leakage rate (γ) should be balanced with the intrinsic loss (δ) [46]:
FIGURE 4
This condition leads to perfect absorption, which can be readily proved from CMT. The mode amplitude of a single resonator is given byThus, the absorption (A) is expressed by . At resonance (ω = ω0), A is represented by and is maximized to A = 1 when γ = δ.
The critical coupling condition is discussed for various cases, as shown in Figure 5. For a single subwavelength resonator in a free field (Figures 5A,B), absorption is characterized by absorption cross section (σabs) defined by the absorbed power (Pabs) relative to the incident power (Pinc), i.e., . For two dimensional (2D) space, the absorption cross section is defined as a length [48].The theoretical limit of the single resonator is given by σabs, 2D = λ/2π [48]. Such an absorption limit can be achieved by satisfying the critical coupling (δ = γ), as shown in Figure 5G (reproduced from Ref. [36]). For a single resonator in a free field with a backing surface (Figure 5A), its absorption cross section is two times the limit, i.e., σabs, 2D = 2λ/2π for δa = γi,0 with from Eq. 9. The leakage rate of the backed free field (γi,0) is also twice than that of the free field such that the absorption limit of the single resonator in a free field (Figure 5B) is reached when as shown in Figure 5G.
FIGURE 5
The critical coupling enables perfect absorption for a single resonator placed in the middle of a waveguide, as illustrated in Figures 5C,D. The one-port system (Figure 5C) shows unity absorption for δc = γw,0 with whereas the two-port system (Figure 5D) exhibits 0.5 absorption even for the critical coupling due to the radiation symmetry, as shown in Figure 5H (reproduced from Ref. [47]). The resonator in a waveguide is equivalent to a periodic array of resonators so that the perfect absorption condition is similarly imposed to the periodic system.
The critical coupling condition is further discussed for two resonators in two-port systems, as illustrated in Figures 5E,F. When the two resonators have asymmetric losses (i.e., lossy upstream and lossless downstream resonators), the perfect absorption and critical coupling condition are similar to those of the single resonator in a one-port system (Figure 5C). This is because the downstream resonator functions as a reflector. On the other hand, two resonators having symmetric losses show perfect absorption when the waveguide width (or period) is close to the wavelength at resonance (λ0) and the distance between the resonators is much smaller than the wavelength.
For perfect resonant absorption, the critical coupling is widely used and it is readily realized by either adjusting leakage rate or intrinsic loss [30, 49, 50]. The leakage rate is geometrically controlled by choosing a waveguide of specific width or adjusting the effective size of a resonator. Similarly, the intrinsic loss of a resonator is engineered by changing geometrical parameters for thermal viscous losses or introducing lossy materials. In Figure 6A, the single Helmholtz resonator is attached to the side of the waveguide, fulfilling the critical coupling condition, which is confirmed in a complex frequency map (Figure 6B) [49]. The perfect absorption is enabled for various configurations, as shown in Figure 6C. The results indicate that regardless of the intrinsic losses, the critical coupling condition can be satisfied by carefully adjusting the physical parameters.
FIGURE 6
Perfect absorption was realized in two-port systems using resonance degeneracy with coupled resonators in a unit cell [28], as illustrated in Figures 5E,F. These absorbers are so called ventilated sparse absorbers since fluid flow is permitted while noises are absorbed [47, 52, 53]. In Figure 6D, a fish-shape unit device consists of a lossy upstream resonator and a lossless downstream resonator [47]. For such a loss asymmetry, the opening (or neck) of the downstream is larger for reducing viscous loss, while its cavity size is increased to maintain its resonance frequency same as that of the upstream resonator. Under the critical coupling condition, the near perfect absorption of the fish-shaped device was experimentally characterized, as shown in Figure 6E. Also, the device having a streamline body enables the control of fluid flow directions while minimizing the flow resistance, as illustrated in Figure 6F.
Two identical resonators having symmetric losses in a two port system show perfect absorption for a relatively large period (or space between unit devices). Such an interesting characteristic was confirmed using coupled resonators, as illustrated in Figure 6G [51]. Depending on the distance between the unit devices (i.e., period), the absorption peak values are varied as shown in Figure 6H. The optimized distance was found to be d = 14 cm, which corresponds to approximately 0.85λ0. This specific distance for perfection absorption results in the degeneracy of monopole and dipole resonances in Figure 6I.
3.2 Coupled resonators in open field
A finite number of coupled resonators exhibit intriguing wave scattering and absorption characteristics, as summarized in Figure 7. Coupled resonators of asymmetric intrinsic losses show different absorption cross section spectra for opposite incidences [44], as shown in Figures 7A,B. In the referred work, the opposite incidences cause a difference in vibration phases, thus promoting asymmetric absorption by increasing the response of the lossy resonator for a specific incidence angle. This concept can be extended to an array system [55].
FIGURE 7
From the directional characteristics of the coupled resonators (Figure 7A), coupled resonators can be used for sensing the direction of incoming waves [54], as shown in Figure 7C. In the study, three resonators integrated to the cylindrical scatterer are capable of amplifying the acoustic waves depending on the incident angle. In Figure 7D, the response of each resonator is varied for different incident angles. This subwavelength direction sensor is advantageous over conventional direction sensors relying on bulky systems of multiple detectors for considerable differences in wave phases. This conception was originally proposed in optics as angle-sensing, bio-inspired photodetectors [56]. Also, such directional resonance coupling is demonstrated in magnetic wave direction sensing [57].
Multiple resonators within a subwavelength scatterer induce relatively strong coupling, which increases interaction between an incident wave and the resonators [36–38]. Such strong wave interaction is manifested as superscattering, as illustrated in Figure 7E. The scattering cross section of the scatterer is extremely high (approximately six times greater than that of a single resonator), when a large number of scattering channels are excited, as observed in Figure 7F. Due to reciprocal physical properties, the superscattering behavior is closely related to a super-emitter consisting of a source surrounded by resonators, which is demonstrated as a purcell effect [39].
3.3 Exceptional point and rabi splitting
Coupling between resonators is illustrated in Figure 4B. Various coupling phenomena are observed depending on coupling rate relative to leakage (or loss) rate, as shown in Figures 4D,E. Exceptional point states that coupling strength between the coupled resonators is balanced with the loss difference, leading to the eigenvalue coalescence. From Eq. 6, the eigenfrequencies of the coupled resonators are given bywhere Δω = ω2 − ω1 and Δ(γ + δ) = γ2 + δ2 − (γ1 + δ1). Here, the two eigenvalues coalesce if the square-root term in Eq. 14 becomes zero. For a real and reciprocal coupling (κ1 = κ2 = κ), the EP occurs when Δω = 0 and 2κ = |Δ(γ + δ)|. From Eq. 14, assuming a purely imaginary coupling with being the real value, exceptional points arise for and Δ(γ + δ) = 0 [58]. In a strong coupling regime (κ ≫|Δ(γ + δ)|), two eigenvalues (two peaks in a spectral response) are not identical due to the non-zero square-root term, even when ω1 = ω2. The emergence of the two peaks is characterized as Rabi splitting (or Autler-Townes Splitting).
To consider a more general case where the coupling strength (κ) is a complex value, EP conditions are characterized in two cavity resonators coupled via a thin channel, as illustrated in Figure 8A. The complex coupling strength (κ) is defined by a length of the channel (l), which is given by κ = κ0exp (iθ) = κ0 [cos(θ) + i sin(θ)] with and κ0 being the constant real value. The bottom panel of Figure 8A show a complex coupling strength depending on the phase angle of θ. Here, specific cases are highlighted by the symbols: star symbols for pure imaginary coupling, hexagon symbols for pure real coupling, blue shade for the first and third quadrants, and red shade for the second and fourth quadrants. The square-root terms of these specific cases are plotted as a function of Δω and ΔΓ(=Δ(γ + δ)) in Figures 8B–E for reciprocal coupling (κ1 = κ2 = κ0 = 0.01ω0). Δω and ΔΓ are normalized to ω0. EP corresponds to the zero of the square-root term (marked as red circles). For pure real κ (e.g., l ≪ λ), EP is realized for no detuning (Δω = 0) and ΔΓ = 2κ0 = 0.02ω0 in Figure 8B. Also, for pure imaginary κ (e.g., l = λ/4), EP is observed for considerable resonance detuning Δω = ±0.02ω0 without unbalanced loss (i.e., ΔΓ = 0), as shown in Figure 8C. Interestingly, for Re(κ) ≠ 0 and Im(κ) ≠ 0 in Figures 8D,E, EP conditions require both resonance detuning (Δω ≠ 0) and unbalanced loss (ΔΓ < 0.02ω0). Note that Δω > 0 is for the first and third quadrants while Δω < 0 is for the second and fourth quadrants.
FIGURE 8
Non-Hermitian physics and multiple exceptional points are systematically studied for two-state and higher-order systems, as shown in Figure 9A [23]. In a two-state system consisting of two cavity resonators coupled through a coupling tube, the pressure of a single acoustic cavity is characterized by increasing additional loss at the other acoustic cavity. By retrieving the eigenmodes from the experimental data, it is observed that the two eigenmodes coalesce at an EP when ΔΓ = 2|κ| in Figure 9B. Beyond single EP, interesting EP phenomena are enabled at a higher dimension such as a four-state systems (Figure 9C), where multiple EPs are realized for higher-order EP-related physics.
FIGURE 9
EPs are observed in a bianisotropic system comprising of three thin plates and two lossy regions in between [59], as illustrated in Figure 9D. Asymmetry is introduced to the system by having different lengths of the lossy regions. With such geometry asymmetry and unbalanced loss, this work demonstrates unidirectional zero reflection for the forward direction in Figure 9E while the high reflection is observed for the backward direction in Figure 9F. The EP condition is confirmed by a degenerate non-Hermitian scattering matrix.
In addition to the unidirectional wave control, EP enables perfect sound absorption of coupled resonators in a duct [41]. The perfect absorption in coupled resonators is realized when both the critical coupling and EP conditions are simultaneously satisfied. In this work, asymmetric loss is implemented into the system, as the upstream resonator has a relatively large loss compared to the downstream resonator. When two resonators are strongly coupled, two absorption peaks of small amplitudes are observed. These two peaks merge into one peak at a EP, as shown in Figures 9H,I. In this two-port system, conditions for critical coupling (δ = γ) and EP (2κ = |Δ(γ + δ)| = δ) are simultaneously met for perfect absorption. For two resonators in a one-port system, the EP condition is not required as long as each resonator meets the critical coupling condition. However, resonance degeneracy is essential to perfect absorption in two-port systems. In this regard, the EP condition is a good indicator to see if resonance degeneracy is achieved. Similarly, EP-based elastic wave absorption is reported in Ref. [60].
3.4 Fano resonance in weakly coupling regime
A Fano resonance, exhibiting an asymmetric line-shape, occurs when a discrete localized state is coupled to a continuum of states [24]. The asymmetric line-shape is produced by interference between a background (continuum state) and a resonant scattering process. The background scattering amplitude typically varies slowly with frequency whereas the resonant scattering amplitude changes both in magnitude and phase quickly. The response by the Fano resonance characterizes absorption, transmission and scattering. The sharp resonance peak enabled by the Fano resonance is useful for sensing applications. For the coupled resonators, the Fano resonance is observed in the weak-coupling regime: |κ|≪|γ1 + δ1| or |κ|≪|γ2 + δ2|. For f1 ≠ 0, f2 = 0 and a two-oscillator model in the weak-coupling regime, the amplitude of the driven oscillator 1 can be presented in the form [24]:whereis the dimensionless frequency. The Fano parameter q determines the spectral shape and depends on the spectra detuning of the oscillators ω2 − ω1. q = cotδ, where δ is the phase of the response function . Intuitively, the reflection spectrum for Fano resonance shows a sharp transition between the zero reflection to the unity reflection. Here, the zero reflection corresponds to the destructive interference whereas the unity reflection occurs due to the constructive interference.
For such a week coupling regime, when two resonators have the identical resonance frequency ω1 = ω2 so that Fano resonance (i.e., interference) happens for q = 0, the high transmission occurs at ω1 = ω2. This spectral lineshape is known as electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT), as illustrated in Figure 4D. Of course, two resonators having similar bandwidths may show EIT for ω1 ≠ ω2 by demonstrating destructive interference and consequently high transmission at a frequency between ω1 and ω2.
Figure 10 shows different cases demonstrating Fano resonances. First, Fano resonances are observed for non-resonant background scattering in free field (Figure 10A) and waveguide (Figure 10B). The reduced scattering is seen for a circular scatterer having a Helmholtz resonator in Figure 10E. The non-resonant background scattering (corresponding to the circular scatterer without resonance) is represented as the dashed line. Similarly, non-resonant background scattering is introduced in a waveguide, as shown in Figure 10F. The near-zero reflection is observed at a frequency before the resonance. Also, the background scattering can be induced by a resonator in a waveguide, as long as the response of the resonator slowly varies. This case is illustrated in Figures 10C,D for different configurations. These dual-resonator systems are slightly different in terms of excitation. In Figure 10C, only one of the resonators is excited whereas both resonators are excited in Figure 10D. Resulting reflection spectra for both systems are similar, promoting zero reflection between two resonance frequencies.
FIGURE 10
Fano resonance is implemented in a waveguide for reducing transmission, as shown in Figure 11A and B [61, 62]. Interference for Fano resonance occurs between non-resonant background scattering and resonant scattering, as illustrated in Figure 10B. Here, non-resonant background scattering is introduced by the central part (highlighted by the yellow region) in Figure 11A, exhibiting reflection due to the area reduction. The resonant reflection enabled by the helical part shows dual peaks at 340 Hz and 695 Hz (dashed green line) in Figure 11B. This concept was first proposed in Ref. [65], where a relatively narrow-band Fano resonance is demonstrated. The helical resonators are a space-coiled version of an open-pipe resonator, which is open at both ends. The resonant frequencies of an open-pipe resonator are with L being the length. The two peaks corresponds to the fundamental (f1) and the first overtone (f2), i.e., f2 ≈ 2f1. Such two resonant peaks and their interference with the non-resonant scattering permit broadband transmission suppression. To understand the interference, the phase spectra of each scattering are plotted in Ref. [66]. In that reference, phases in a frequency range between the two peaks differ by π compared to those of the non-resonant scattering. Moreover, broadband transmission reduction with dampened super-cell is realized.
FIGURE 11
Dual-band Fano resonances are realized by artificial Mie resonances [62], as illustrated in Figure 11C. Two types of monopolar Mie resonances are observed, which are controlled by adjusting the size, as shown in Figure 11D. This exhibits two resonance peaks spaced apart, each promoting a Fano resonance in Figure 11E. Unlike the broadband Fano resonance, dual-band Fano resonances are induced around the resonant frequencies, as each resonant mode leads to destructive interference with the background scattering.
Although Fano resonance has shown promise in sensing applications, it is difficult to construct such a system due to geometrical imperfection. To address this challenge, Fano resonance is combined with 1D topological insulator, demonstrating robust topological Fano resonance [63], as illustrated in Figure 11F. Such an interesting feature was experimentally validated, as shown in Figure 11G.
Fano resonance between resonators also demonstrates asymmetrical spectral line-shape for reflection, as illustrated in Figures 10G,H. For transmission, such Fano resonance between resonators are typically discussed as acoustically induced transparency (AIT) [67–69], where two resonators have detuning and weak coupling interact, supporting Fano resonance. In other words, both AIT and Fano resonance share the same physical mechanism. When one resonator has much wider bandwidth and function as background scattering, the observation can be categorized as Fano resonance. On the other hand, AIT has two resonators with comparable bandwidth.
3.5 Emerging research based on coupled resonators
Traditional coupling phenomena have been further considered with emerging physical concepts such as time modulation of physical properties, non-local interaction (long-range coupling), and non-reciprocity, as shown in Figure 12. As illustrated in Figure 12A, the 3D metamaterial having non-local effects is based on the long-range coupling being stronger than the nearest-neighbor coupling [70]. In this case, the dispersion relation exhibits a sign change of the slopes (group velocity, vg = ∂ω/∂kz) for different wavenumbers (A, B, and C) and the same frequency, as seen in Figure 12B. This negative slope (wavenumber B) implies that the energy flow is reversed, while the phase velocity (vph = ω/kz) remains positive. The theoretical finding was validated with experimental observation [72, 73]. Such Roton-like characteristics observed in correlated quantum superfuids are realized in the classical system relying on coupled resonators, which can serve as simple tabletop experiments for condensed matter physics and quantum mechanics [75].
FIGURE 12
Resonance coupling is controlled by implementing an additional coupling through an external circuit, enabling non-reciprocal resonance coupling [71], as shown in Figure 12C. Such non-reciprocal coupling, exhibiting the single-loop winding of the complex energy spectrum (Figure 12D), results in a non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE) that shows the wave localization on one of the boundaries depending on the winding number. This system further demonstrates non-reciprocal long-range coupling, leading to twisted winding topology with two oppositely oriented loops (i.e., different signs of the winding number) in Figure 12E.
Time-modulated resonators enable interesting coupling behaviors which cannot be observed in traditional resonators [72]. The energy exchange between coupled resonators is regulated by implementing modulated resonance frequencies with proper spatial phase bias, as illustrated in Figure 12F. In Figure 12G, the resonance frequency of each resonator is modulated by the cavity volume change induced by the vibrating upper disk, which is actuated by a mechanical shaker. This coupled system with dynamic modulation demonstrates nonreciprocal energy transmission, as shown in Figure 12H (red: backward, blue: forward).
4 Conclusions and outlook
Coupled resonators are considered as a fundamental building block, enabling effective wave control and sensing. Among several theoretical frameworks characterizing coupled resonance phenomena, the lumped parameter-based models have many advantages by reducing the complicate description of physical systems to a few key physical parameters capturing essential physical characteristics. First, such models are simple but very intuitive by permitting explicit description of coupling strength, which is one of critical parameters dictating interaction between constituent resonators. Also, the explicit coupling strength can be compared with other key parameters such as the leakage rate and intrinsic loss, consequently allowing estimation of the overall system characteristics. After thorough comparison between two representative lumped parameter-based models, various coupled resonance phenomena are discussed, including critical coupling, Fano resonance, and exceptional point.
While having many advantages, the lumped parameter-based models also have disadvantages, requiring ardours extraction of constituent lumped parameters through separate simulation or parameter fitting. Since other physical parameters describing the systems are lumped to a few representative parameters, knowledge of how these lumped parameters are correlated to other physical parameters is often more important. In this sense, lumped parameter-based models are complementary with other theoretical frameworks without using lumped parameters.
For perfect absorption, one can design and optimize an absorber without realizing the critical coupling. Instead, if the absorber exhibits perfect absorption, one claims that the critical coupling must be satisfied. As long as the leakage rate is balanced with the intrinsic loss, the perfect absorption is enabled by multiple optimum solutions. By increasing the leakage rate and intrinsic loss simultaneously, broadband perfect absorbers are constructed [46]. Interaction of resonators with incident waves in open field leads to intriguing physical features. Finite number of resonators are simple, but demonstrating rich coupling behaviors such as directionality and scattering. Also, physical insights into resonant coupling are gained and can be extended to periodic arrays.
For wave sensing, Fano resonance is a great choice due to its sharp spectral line shape, exhibiting high sensing sensitivity. However, such high sensitivity realized in Fano resonance poses challenges in constructing Fano resonance-based sensing systems. Fano resonance in combination with Topological insulators greatly improve system robustness [63]. Moreover, systems with exceptional points have been only implemented for acoustic resonance degeneracy, and they can be a nice sensing platform as proposed in optics. Sensing sensitivity can be improved by implementing higher order exceptional points.
As discussed by introducing the emerging research, metamaterial research based on coupled resonance continues to evolve in a way that enables design of exotic coupling between resonators or resonant modes without any restrictions imposed by the physical distance and reciprocity. For example, resonance coupling can be established through a closed-loop control system, which is composed of a sensor, actuator, and autonomous controllers preprogrammed to define a transfer function between the sensor and actuator [76]. In this example, the mechanical lattice demonstrates non-Newtonian topological insulation with nonreciprocal coupling and next nearest-neighbor coupling. This approach implies that the autonomous controllers can be programmed to support any arbitrary coupling and the electric wires used for the closed-loop control system permit any long-range coupling.
Recently, research on optical metamaterials has advanced to implement synthetic dimensions [77, 78], which enable extension of the geometric dimensionality of a photonic structure such that one-dimensional structures with a synthetic dimension can exhibit two-dimensional-like physical features. For instance, a dynamically modulated ring resonator functions as a one-dimensional lattice in the synthetic frequency dimension [79]. Such optical concepts based on synthetic dimensions are useful in acoustic resonators. With a few number of acoustic resonators, exotic coupling between resonance modes can be realized as it is demonstrated in two coupled ring resonators [80].
Although coupled resonators are a promising platform for wave sensing, resonance-based sensing approaches perturb their measurement and create considerable wave scattering [81]. To avoid such an issue while benefiting from resonance, one can consider a non-resonant sensor connected to electrical resonance, which is so-called virtual acoustic resonance. Therefore, many existing resonant systems can be translated into systems composed of virtual acoustic resonators.
