Abstract
This paper presents an innovative approach to computational acoustic imaging of biperiodic surfaces, exploiting the capabilities of an acoustic superlens to overcome the diffraction limit. We address the challenge of imaging physical entities in complex environments by considering the partial differential equations that govern the physics and solving the corresponding inverse problem. We focus on imaging infinite rough surfaces, specifically 2D diffraction gratings, and propose a method that leverages the transformed field expansion. We derive a reconstruction formula connecting the Fourier coefficients of the surface and the measured field, demonstrating the potential for unlimited resolution under ideal conditions. We also introduce an approximate discrepancy principle to determine the cut-off frequency for the truncated Fourier series expansion in surface profile reconstruction. Furthermore, we elucidate the resolution enhancement effect of the superlens by deriving the discrete Fourier transform of white Gaussian noise. Our numerical experiments confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method, demonstrating high subwavelength resolution even under slightly non-ideal conditions. This study extends the current understanding of superlens-based imaging and provides a robust framework for future research.
