Abstract
Anisotropic focusing by a mesoscopic (Mie size parameter of about 18) acoustic cubic lens based on V-shaped plate structures has been simulated numerically and confirmed experimentally. It has been shown for the first time that this lens with an edge dimension of about three wavelengths ensures the focusing of an acoustic wave in air into a diffraction-limited region. In the inverse geometry of the structure, the lens completely reflects the incident acoustic wave.
