We experimentally realized a planar acoustic superlens by a simple structure consisting of periodically arrayed rigid slabs. Based on the excitation of guided modes and the moderate amplification of the evanescent waves, we have broken the diffraction limit and obtained a subwavelength image with a half-power beamwidth of 0.07λ. All the experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical simulations via finite difference time domain method.
