Abstract
Until now we have considered time reversal as an abstract concept, useful for predicting the behavior of electromagnetic waves in magnetic field reversed magnetoplasmas, for instance, or the outcome of interchanging the roles of transmitters and receivers in electromagnetic or acoustic communication problems. The last twenty years, however, have seen a surge of activity related to the practical implementation of “time reversal mirrors” (TRM) for optical, acoustic and electromagnetic (micro-)wave applications, and a host of insights associated with them.
