摘要: 随着海洋探测中信息量的快速增长, 如何实现高效的水下声通信成为重要议题。近年来, 声学超材料作为一种新型人工复合材料, 能够凭借强大的声学参数调控能力突破传统材料功能极限, 在水下探测、目标识别、成像、导航和通信等领域展现出了广阔的应用前景。本文综述了利用超材料实现水下声学通信的研究进展, 主要包括基于声轨道角动量的多路复用通信、基于声学超表面的波束操控实现的特定发射和接收端间的水下声通信及跨介质水-气声通信, 总结了其所涉及的关键问题和技术, 并对当前基于超材料的水下声学通信所面临的挑战和前景进行了展望。Abstract: With the explosive growth in the data volume acquired from ocean explorations, achieving efficient underwater acoustic communication has become a critical issue. In recent years, acoustic metamaterials, as a sort of novel artificial composite materials, have demonstrated the ability to surpass the limitations of traditional materials through their exceptional acoustic parameter manipulation capabilities. Thus, acoustic metamaterials have shown promising applications in numerous areas such as underwater detection, underwater target identification, acoustic imaging, navigation, and underwater communication. This paper reviews the advancements on metamaterial-based underwater acoustic communication, focusing primarily on multiplex communication based on acoustic orbital angular momentum, underwater acoustic communication between specific transmitter and receiver based on beam steering of acoustic metasurface and trans-medium water-air acoustic communication, the key issues and technologies of which are summarized. Finally, we outline the current challenges and future prospects of metamaterial-based underwater acoustic communication.
