Abstract:Acoustically driven, gas-filled cavities in liquids have been known to collapse violently, generating short flashes of light of ∼100 psec duration. This phenomenon has been known as Sonoluminescence (SL) and was first observed by Marinesco et al. in 1933. Ten years ago the author pioneered a technique for observing the oscillations of a single, gas-filled cavity (termed Single-Bubble Sonoluminescence) which has provided new insights into the phenomenon of sonoluminescence. More recently, the possibility of gen… Show more
