(a) The illustration of the trapped-rainbow device, containing an oblique air waveguide attached with 30 space-coiling units of different depth. The acoustic wave is incident along x direction from the left side. (b) The zoomed-in illustration of the bottom-left space-coiling unit. The blue arrows show the effective propagation path of the acoustic waves inside the space-coiling unit. (c) The simplified model with effective medium, calculated to compare with the results obtained by the space-coiling structures. (d) The frequency dependence of the effective refractive index n of the effective medium.
