Abstract
Pulsed light scattering off of a gas bubble trapped in a fluid by a st rong sound field indicates that 'sonoluminescence' is accompannied by a high Mach number implosion of the bubble's wall. Although these meas urements support the imploding shock wave model of sonoluminescence th ere remain many unknowns including the effects of impurities, fluid te mperature, noble gas doping as well as the bubble size and light-emitt ing mechanism.
