We measured the timing of sonoluminescence by observing laser light scattered from a single sonoluminescing bubble. We performed this measurement on 23.5 kHz, 17.8 kHz, 13.28 kHz and 7920 Hz systems, and found that the flash typically…
Light emission in sonoluminescence is shown to be a lasing process with a wide gain bandwidth. Population inversion of the gas molecules inside the bubble is achieved by hydrodynamical pumping. Analytic expressions are derived for the…

The dynamics of single bubble sonoluminescence (SBSL) strongly depends on the percentage of inert gas within the bubble. We propose a theory for this dependence, based on a combination of principles from sonochemistry and hydrodynamic…
Bubbles in complex fluids are often desirable, and sometimes simply inevitable, in the processing of formulated products. Bubbles can rise by buoyancy, grow or dissolve by mass transfer, and readily respond to changes in pressure, thereby…
A cavitation bubble inside a liquid, under a specific set of conditions, can get trapped in an antinode of the ultrasonically driven standing wave and periodically emits visible photons (1,2). This conversion of sound to light phenomenon,…
A refined hydrochemical model for single-bubble sonoluminescence (SBSL) is presented. The processes of water vapor evaporation and condensation, mass diffusion, and chemical reactions are taken into account. Numerical simulations of Xe-,…
A variety of approaches have been used to model the dynamics of a single, isolated bubble nucleated by a microsecond length high-amplitude ultrasound pulse (e.g., a histotripsy pulse). Until recently, the lack of single--bubble experimental…
This study is motivated by the extraordinary process of single bubble sonoluminescence (SBSL), where an acoustically driven spherical shock is thought to power the emitted radiation. We propose new experiments using an external magnetic…
The bubble nucleation in superheated liquid can be controlled by adjusting the ambient pressure and temperature. At higher pressure the threshold energy for bubble nucleation increases and we have observed that the amplitude of the acoustic…
UV continua observed in multi-bubble and single-bubble sonoluminescence spectra of hydrogen-containing liquids have the same physical nature - radiative dissociation of electronically excited hydrogen molecules (and possibly hydrides of…

We investigate bubble deformations in an homogeneous and isotropic turbulent flow by means of direct numerical simulations of a single bubble in turbulence. We examine interface deformations by decomposing the local radius into the…
Sonoluminescence is the intriguing phenomenon of strong light flashes from tiny bubbles in a liquid. The bubbles are driven by an ultrasonic wave and need to be filled with noble gas atoms. Approximating the emitted light by blackbody…
The spherical dynamics of a bubble in a compressible liquid has been studied extensively since the early work of Gilmore. Numerical codes to study the behavior, including when large non-spherical deformations are involved, have since been…
We argue that the available experimental data is not compatible with models of sonoluminescence which invoke dynamical properties of the interface without regard to the compositional properties of the trapped gas inside the bubble.
