Sonoluminescence (SL) is the light emitting phenomenon accompanied with ultrasonic cavitation in liquid. It attracts many interests because physics behind it remains uncertain and few applications have appeared. It has been known that the color of SL changes in solutions which include metallic ions. In the present work, colors of SL in alkali metallic and alkaline earth metallic ions were considered. RGB component was used to analyze the color of SL. By using RGB component, it was found that color of SL in metallic solution can be resolved into color of SL in pure water and flame color of metal which is different from high intensity color of line spectrum of alkaline earth metal. From this result, influence of metallic ion on SL and the temperature on violent collapsing of cavitation bubble was discussed.

Sonoluminescence (SL) characteristics such as pulse shape, radiance and spectrum radiance from submicron bubbles were investigated. In this study, a set of analytical solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations for the gas inside bubble and equations obtained from mass, momentum and energy equations for the liquid layer adjacent the bubble wall were used to estimate the gas temperature and pressure at the collapse point, which are crucial parameters to determine the SL characteristics. Heat transfer inside the gas bubble as well as at the liquid boundary layer, which was not considered in the most of previous studies on the sonoluminescence was taken it into account in the calculation of the temperature distribution inside the bubble. It was found that bremsstrahlung is a very possible mechanism of the light emission from either micron or submicron bubbles. It was also found that the peak temperature exceeding $10^{6}$ K in the submicron bubble driven at 1 MHz and 4 atm may be due to the rapid change of the bubble wall acceleration near the collapse point rather than shock formation.

소노루미네센스(SL)현상은 액체 내에서 초음파에 동기화되어 진동하는 미소기포$~10\mu\textrm{m}$)가 수축할 때 기포내부의 온도가 고온이 됨에 따라 기포중심으로부터 빛이 나오는 현상을 말한다. 단일기 포가 초음파에 가진 될 경우 그 스펙트럼이 X선에 가까운 것임이 밝혀질뿐더러 촉매물 질의 개발이나 활성화, 고분자 합성뿐만 아니라 용액 내에서의 불순물 제거 등에 대한 응용의 가능성이 속속 발견되자, 현재 과학계뿐만 아니라 일반 매스컴에서도 화제의 대상이 되고 있다. SL현상은 원자당 $10^{11}eV$ 에 해당되는 초음파 에너지의 파장이 0.19.mu. 이하인 X선, 즉 6eV 이상의 광자에너지로 증폭됨에 따라 기포수축시 기포내 가스의 온도가 수만 도에 이르는 것, 레이저에 상응하는 광펄스 폭(50 ps)과 초음파에 동기되어 현존하는 최상의 수정시계에 필적하는 SL펄스의 규칙성, 기포수축시의 $10^{10}W/m^{2}$에 해당되는 열의 방출과 10억분의 수 초 동안에 $10^{4}K$의 고온상태에서 200K 정도의 저온상태로 바뀜에 따른 급격한 냉각속도 등 으로 특징지어질 수 있다. 이 글에서는 현재 실험을 통하여 알려진 SL에 관한 현상의 특징과 응용에 대해 구체적으로 기술하였다.

The bubble behavior and the radiation mechanism from a laser-induced collapsing bubble were investigated theoretically using the Keller-Miksis equation for the bubble wall motion and analytical solutions for the vapor inside bubble. The calculated time dependent bubble radius is in good agreement with observed ones. The half-width of the luminescence pulse at the collapse point, which was calculated under assumption that the light emission mechanism is black body radiation from the vapor bubble agreed well with observed value of several nanoseconds. The gas content inside the vapor bubble was too small to produce the light emission due to bremsstrahlung.
