Abstract:
Micromanipulation of sonoluminescing bubbles is achieved by generating a complex sound field consisting of spatially distributed modes of higher harmonics of a basic driving frequency. Bubbles can be manipulated in space and shifted to any desired spot. The interaction with the complex sound field also allows for specification of the violence of a bubble collapse.
