Achieving Sonoluminescence This page gives a brief outline of the physics behind sonoluminescence and the method used to achieve it. Water is the substrate that most readily emits light so the first step to achieving sonoluminescence is to create a suitable sample. As a control to the experiment distilled water must be used. To get a suitable gas level in the water it is necessary to steadily boil it for approximately 11 minutes. The 100ml of water should be degassed in two equal parts to stop splashing whilst the water is boiling. The flask must be sealed with a rubber bung immediately after the heat is removed to prevent gases being reabsorbed. The water should then be left to cool to room temperature and preferably cooled even further in a fridge before the experiment is conducted. Piezo-electric transducers (P.Z.T.s) are used to create the acoustic field. These are ceramic devices that expand when a potential difference is imposed across one way and contract when a voltage is imposed across the other way. They need a voltage of around 700V to work efficiently. If subjected to an A.C. potential they will expand and contract rapidly. If they are glued to the side of the sonoluminescence flask and wired in parallel they will cause the flask to vibrate thus producing the required acoustic field. Figure 1: A diagram of a Piezo-Electric transducer The P.Z.T.s although wired parallel to each other form part of a series L.C.R. circuit in which they act as the capacitors. This L.C.R circuit is needed to produce the large voltage needed to drive the P.Z.T.s.The variable inductor is a coil of enamelled copper wire with a ferrite rod at its core. The resistance is provided by a 1W resistor. A frequency generator that operates in the 24-27 kHz range drives the L.C.R. circuit. A frequency meter monitors the produced frequency. A 30W audio power amplifier then amplifies the power of this signal in order that the maximum electrical resonance can be achieved. The L.C.R. circuit is shown in figure 2.

Crum Applied Physics Laboratory Chairman of Acoustics and Electromagnetics Department , University of Washington, Seattle ABSTRACT When an acoustic wave of moderate pressure amplitude is propagated through an aqueous liquid, light emissions can be observed. This conversion of mechanical energy into electromagnetic energy represents an energy amplification per molecule of over eleven orders of magnitude! Recently, we made the discovery that a single, stable gas bubble, acoustically levitated in a liquid, can emit optical emissions each cycle for an unlimited period of time. Presumably, the oscillations of the bubble cause the gas in the interior to be heated to incandescent temperatures during the compression portion of the cycle. We have no current explanation for how this mechanical system sustains itself.

Light from Sonic Implosions By Alex Wurden Grade 8, Los Alamos Middle School Feb. 10, 1996 Abstract Introduction In this experiment I made light from sonic implosions, known as sonoluminescence. I did this with two piezo-electric discs and a microphone, a 100 ml flask, an Oscilloscope, Audio Amp, and Frequency Generator. A lot of complex factors are involved in getting the conditions right for Sonoluminescence (SL). Among them is matching the resonance frequency to the electric frequency by adjusting inductance and magnetic fields. Another is properly degassing all of the air dissolved in the water I need to use. Finding a power level on the Audio Amplifier to make the bubble stable, and to keep it from dissolving proved to be my main difficulty in this experiment. Questions I want to try to make light from sonic implosions, which I read about in Scientific American. The phenomenon is called sonoluminescence. I want to study it in depth, to find details like brightness, size, when it occurs, and how it happens. I also want to know how all the equipment I'm going to need works. Hypothesis I think that I will be able to make sonoluminescence, but I don't really understand how sound waves can make light. With my photo-multiplier tube I should also be able to detect the light, and when it occurs in relation to the sine wave of the driving electricity. Finding the size of the bubble, on the other hand, will be difficult. From my research, I know that the bubble is incredibly tiny. I have no clue yet as to how I'm going to accomplish this. Finally, I know I'll have to learn how to use all the equipment, circuits, and equations I'll need.

The effect was first discovered at the University of Cologne in as a result of work on sonar . Interest in the topic rose again when an inner temperature of such a bubble well above one million degrees Celsius was postulated, making it a possible source for nuclear fusion energy. A major breakthrough occurred when Gaitan et al. were able to produce single bubble sonoluminescence (SBSL), in which a single bubble, trapped in a standing acoustic wave, emits light with each pulsation. This development allowed the systematic study of the phenomenon, because it allowed the isolation of the effects of just one bubble, rather than the complex environment of many bubbles. Here are some facts about sonoluminescence: The light flashes from the bubbles are extremely short - between 35 and a few hundred picoseconds long.

This rapid heating causes gas atoms to glow. Physicist Sanjay Khare of Ohio State University at Columbus and Pritiraj Mohanty, a graduate student of physics at the University of Maryland at College Park may have taken the first step in uncovering this mystery. Ultrasound-stimulated bubbles emit light in very short pulses, as short as a trillionth of a second. Khare and Mohanty theorized that it usually takes a longer time for an atom of gas to decay and emit light. However, when many atoms decay together, they do so at a faster rate. This would account for the short pulses of light observed in sonoluminescence. If this theory proves correct, it could help explain sonoluminescence at the atomic level. Chemists believe they may be able to harness sonoluminescence to fuse atoms and form new materials.

Project overview: We have proposed a benchmark experiment that will probe the effects of gravity on Single Bubble Sonoluminescence (SBSL). SBSL has been the topic of many exciting research efforts in the past decade, yet there still remain several critical characteristics of the phenomenon to "decipher": (1) the light emission mechanism; (2) the disappearance of the bubble at some critical acoustic pressure; and (3) the appearance of quasiperiodic and chaotic oscillations in flash timing. Gravity, in the context of time-varying buoyancy , is implicated in these unexplained phenomena which have all been observed in 1g experiments.

Sonoluminescence Observations and Current Theories By Justin Cobbs University of Washington INTRODUCTION physics at the University of Washington focused on a bizarre phenomenon called sonoluminescence . Sonoluminescence, or SL, is observed by the excitation of a gas bubble in a liquid with a sound wave. If all the various conditions are just right, a faint blue-white glow will be witnessed emanating from the bubble...sonoluminescence. The goal of my research was to conduct reading research into the many papers published on the subject over the past decade, lay down a path to facilitate information searches by new comers and hard researchers alike, witness the glow first hand, and offer a formula for all interested in setting up a small sonoluminescence experiment. HISTORY GAITAN'S WAY The flashes of sonoluminescence had all but blinked out of the scientific realm entirely when a Ph.D. candidate in Physics at the University of Mississippi took a fresh look at things. Under the direction of Lawrence A. Crum , who at the time was with the National Center for Physical Acoustics (NCPA), Felipe Gaitan pioneered a method of trapping a single sonoluminescing bubble.

95. Single Bubble Sonoluminescence Single Bubble sonoluminescence. Abstract This is called multi bubble sonoluminescence (MBSL), and is exhibited by a variety of liquids. http://www.uberhip.com/people/godber/research/sbsl.html

Single Bubble Sonoluminescence Abstract: Bubbles of air in a liquid medium can experience a rapid series of expansions and contractions when exposed to high frequency sound at high levels of intensity. If the intensity is within a certain range the bubbles will begin to emit a faint blue light, due to phenomena as of yet unexplained. This is called multi bubble sonoluminescence (MBSL), and is exhibited by a variety of liquids. If the same procedure is repeated in water in which the dissolved gas has been removed, and a bubble is introduced into the system, similar results will be produced. This single bubble sonoluminescence (SBSL) allows a closer study of the phenomenon because the isolated bubble can be studied without the interference from other bubbles. The light emitted by this single bubble has proven, in fact, to be a rapid flashing. Each flash coincides with the collapse in the radius of the bubble, and is very consistent in the length between flashes and the duration of each flash. SPS Undergraduate Lab Goals: At this point we are merely interested in reproducing SBSL. If it proves that we can do this we may develop our investigation further.

Buoyancy-Driven Instabilities in Single-Bubble Sonoluminescence (BDiSL) Principal Investigator: Thomas J. Matula, University of Washington Project Scientist: Nancy Hall , Glenn Research Center Project Manager: Kirk Logsdon , Glenn Research Center Currently scheduled to be launched: Flight #9A.1 - Date 10/2005 Why: To quantify the role of instabilities, particular buoyancy, as it pertains to light intensity and bubble dynamics. To expand the parameter space of sonoluminescence through the observation and measurement of light intensity and bubble dynamics. To understand why a small amount of noble gas (such as helium, argon, or xenon) to the gas in the bubble increases the intensity of the emitted light dramatically. How: Levitate a bubble to generate sonoluminescence and perform ambient and maximum bubble size imaging under constant pressure condition and during extinction ramp experiments. Perform sonoluminescence integrated light emission measurement under constant pressure condition. These results will be used to validate and test theoretical models. A bubble collapse results in a liquid jet pushing through the bubble from top to bottom. This example is thought to occur in hydrodynamic cavitation phenomena such as pitting of ship propeller blades.

99. Sonoluminescence sonoluminescence From Sound to Light. sonoluminescence (SL) is a fascinating effect of the light emission from the gaseous bubbles in liquids. http://math.njit.edu/~kondic/sl/sl.html

Sonoluminescence: From Sound to Light Sonoluminescence (SL) is a fascinating effect of the light emission from the gaseous bubbles in liquids. The SL bubbles are driven by ultrasonic field, which makes them oscillate with ultrasonic frequency. If bubbles are driven strongly enough, short bursts of light are emitted once during each period of the sound field. The effect have been known for many years. But, just recently it become possible to produce single bubble SL, and to get much better insight into the effect and its characteristics. We have done a considerable amount of theoretical research in the field of sonoluminescence. The research started around 1992, when only very little was known about SL. We formulated few theoretical models with the goal of explaining the effect. Our research from this "early" period is summarized in the following papers: L. Kondic and Joel I. Gersten, Theory of the Origin of Brief Sonoluminescence Light Pulses PostScript L. Kondic and Joel I. Gersten, Sonoluminescence: A theoretical overview PostScript New experimental results, which appeared in parallel with our work, gave us an idea that the effect responsible for the SL probably has to do with the emission of the
