Abstract

Recent advances in the use of single bubble cavitation [D. F. Gaitan etal., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 91, 3166 (1992)] have made it possible to examine both the temporal and spectral characteristics of sonoluminescence [B. P. Barber etal., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 91, 3061 (1992)]. Direct comparison of the spectra of single-bubble sonoluminescence to multibubble sonoluminescence has proved difficult, however, due to differences in experimental conditions. Examination has begun of both single-bubble and multibubble sonoluminescence spectra of various aqueous solutions under closely similar conditions, where, in a systematic way, a variety of dissolved gases, volatile organic liquids, and involatile inorganic salts have been introduced. Qualitative comparisons of these spectra will be discussed. [Work supported by ONR and NSF.]
