A long-range and variable focus phase-conjugation experiment in shallow water W. S. Hodgkiss, H. C. Song, and W. A.

Ferla SACLANT Undersea Research Center, La Spezia, Italy D. R. Jackson Applied Physics Laboratory, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98105 Received 10 April 1998; accepted for publication 17 November 1998 A second phase-conjugation experiment was conducted in the Mediterranean Sea in May 1997 extending the results of the earlier time-reversal mirror experiment Kuperman et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 103, 25–40 1998. New results reported here include 1 extending the range of focus from the earlier result of 6 km out to 30 km, 2 verifying a new technique to refocus at ranges other than that of the probe source Song et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 103, 3234–3240 1998, and 3 demonstrating that probe-source pulses up to 1 week old can be refocused successfully. © 1999 Acoustical Society of America.
