Abstract:
We present results for sonoluminescent (SL) radiation from
a strongly modulated air bubble in water.
The SL pulse is due to high temperatures in the bubble
produced by the collapse of a shock wave. The dependence of
SL radiation on acoustic pressure and initial bubble size
is discussed, as well as the inclusion of various
mechanical energy loss mechanisms. We find that inclusion of
loss terms, especially due to radiation, is necessary
in order to understand the bubble dynamics, the resulting SL
pulse, and some recent experiments.
