Abstract:
We report the existence of a second type of recycling mode that occurs for air-seeded bubbles. Observation of period doubling in both the stable, the first type, and the second type of recycling mode, together with simultaneous measurement of the relative phase of light emission compared to the drive, shows that the instability boundaries of period doubling and bubble extinction are mainly determined by the bubble size irregardless of the gas composition. The second type mode seems to represent a link between single-bubble and multibubble sonoluminescence.
