However, realizing multiple vortex orders within a single cavity remains challenging because non-Hermitian modulations must be tailored for different OAM modes simultaneously. We propose a simple approach for constructing multiple CEPs by arranging resistive and reactive impedance-boundary modulations with specific azimuthal patterns along the inner wall of an acoustic ring cavity. This design allows for independent engineering of multiple OAM eigenmodes and their simultaneous excitation using a single monopole source. As a representative example, we demonstrate first-, second-, and third-order OAM generation in both an exact PT-symmetric cavity with balanced gain and loss and a loss-biased passive counterpart that offers additional chirality control through the chirality-reversal effect. This study provides a flexible and compact framework for generating and manipulating multi-order acoustic OAM modes on non-Hermitian platforms.展开更多

The aperture efficiency and OAM spectrum are computed for different bit numbers. It is found that the aperture efficiency declines for digital metasurface due to the phase quantization error,especially for 1-bit device. Fortunately, the OAM spectrum is barely affected by phase quantization and the designated main mode keeps dominant for different bit numbers, indicating that high purity OAM vortex beam can be generated by digital metasurface. Besides, the influence of topological charge l is also investigated. For a fixed metasurface, the radiation performance deteriorates sharply with the growing of l and the parasitic OAM mode becomes dominant at certain angle.At last, a prototype of 1-bit metasurface was simulated, fabricated and measured in anechoic chamber. The simulation and experiment results verify the correctness of the numerical analysis.展开更多
