Sonoluminescence: Nature's Smallest BlackBody

Fluid Dynamics 2009-11-06 v1 Plasma Physics

Abstract

The Spectrum of the light emitted by a sonoluminescing bubble is extremely well fit by the spectrum of a blackbody. Furthermore the radius of emission can be smaller than the wavelength of the light. Consequences, for theories of sonoluminescence are discussed.
