Theory of quantum radiation observed as sonoluminescence Claudia Eberlein§ 5 Department of Physics 9 9 University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 1 n Urbana, IL 61801-3080 u U.S.A. J 5 1 (Submitted June 7, 1995) 1 v 4 2 0 Abstract 6 0 Sonoluminescence is explained in terms of quantum radiation by moving interfaces 5 between media of different polarizability. In a stationary dielectric the zero-point 9 / fluctuations of the electromagnetic field excite virtual two-photon states which become h real under perturbation due to motion of the dielectric. The sonoluminescent bubble p - is modelled as an optically empty cavity in a homogeneous dielectric. The problem of t n the photon emission by a cavity of time-dependent radius is handled in a Hamiltonian a formalism which is dealt with perturbatively up to first order in the velocity of the u q bubble surface over the speed of light. A parameter-dependence of the zero-order : Hamiltonian in addition to the first-order perturbation calls for a new perturbative v i method combining standard perturbation theory with an adiabatic approximation. In X this way the transition amplitude from the vacuum into a two-photon state is obtained, r a and expressions for the single-photon spectrum and the total energy radiated during one flash are given both in full and in the short-wavelengths
