Abstract(in English) The convex lens using RTV silicone rubber, which acoustic impedance matches that of water well, is one of typical acoustic lenses. However, some consideration is needed to reduce the thickness of lens because the attenuation is very large in RTV silicone rubber. Therefore, the phase continuous Fresnel lens was proposed which has some devices keeping the phase continuous in the whole lens aperture without incoherent convergence. This lens is made by removing its thickness like staircase shape in which the difference of each step is an integer multiple of the wave length. In this report, the sound fields focused by a phase continuous Fresnel lens are analyzed using Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method. The sound pressure field of focal region is surveyed by changing the burst pulse length and angle of incidence.
