Low-jitter sonoluminescence cell

This report constitutes the final report for subcontract B338667. The statement of work for this subcontract was divided into three tasks: Task 1: Produce and quantify the stability of a sonoluminescence cell. The quantification will entail measuring the variation of the amplitude of the light flashes, here called events, and the variation in the time between the individual events i.e., the jitter. On a best effort basis we desire the light amplitude to be stable within 20 So and the jitter between events should be less than 100 ps on average over a period of at least an hour. Task 2: The quantified cell, which provides the stability and jitter characteristics described above, must be arranged so that it has an optical quality viewing access. The optical properties will enable us to use laser measurement techniques to perform optical probing. Task 3: There will be a brief informal report on the production of the cell and how it was quantified. This report need only be sufficient to allow the reproduction of the cell at LLNL
