Casimir light: the source.

J Schwinger 1
PMCID: PMC46033  PMID: 11607373

Abstract

The release of Casimir energy in filling a dielectric hole is identified as the source of coherent sonoluminescence. Qualitative agreement with recently acquired data is found for the magnitude and shape of the spectrum.
