An ultrasound concave 2-D ring array transducer was designed for applications in visual stimulation of the retina with a long-term goal to restore vision in individuals with intact neurons but suffering blindness due to retinopathies. The array was synthesized and has a frequency of 20 MHz (0.075-mm wavelengths in water), 18-mm focal length (the curvature of the concave array), 1004 elements (with a pitch of 4.0 wavelengths), and inner and outer diameters of 9 and 14 mm, respectively. Wave patterns produced with the array at the focal distance were simulated. Results show that the wave patterns obtained can achieve a full-width-at-half-maximum (FWHM) resolution of 0.147 mm that is very close to the FWHM diffraction limit (0.136 mm). In addition, a scaled experiment at a lower frequency of 2.5 MHz was performed. The result is very close to those obtained with the simulations.
