Bose-Einstein Correlations and Sonoluminescence

Abstract

Sonoluminescence may be studied in detail by intensity correlations among the emitted photons. As an example, we discuss an experiment to measure the size of the light-emitting region by the Hanbury Brown-Twiss effect. We show that single bubble sonoluminescence is almost ideally suited for study by this method and that plausible values for the physical parameters are within easy experimental reach. A sequence of two and higher order photon correlation experiments is outlined.
