The bubble dynamics for the single bubble sonoluminescence (SBSL) has been
coupled with the dynamic Casimir effect due to the quantum vacuum fluctuati
on. The numerical results show that the power radiated by the Casimir effec
t is on the order of 10(-38) W and too weak to fit the experimental observa
tion of SBSL although the spectrum of the radiation can be fitted well. It
is impossible to take the quantum Casimir effect as a candidate for the ori
gin of SBSL.
