PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sono luminescence probe for measuring the intensity of a cavitation being generated in a liquid using ultrasonic waves by converting the intensity to light. SOLUTION: A sealed container 1 is constituted so that it passes ultrasonic waves but does not pass light, contains a gas such as air, an emission liquid 2 where a specific amount of luminol reagent is mixed is loaded, and a photo sensor 3 is placed in the sealed container 1 opposite to the emission liquid 2, thus constituting a sono luminescence probe 4. Further, a power meter 6 is connected to the photo sensor 3 of the sono luminescence probe 4 via a lead wire 5. In this case, ultrasonic waves pass through the emission liquid 2 and the photo sensor 3. However, by loading them into the sealed container 1 that does not pass light and dipping the sealed container 1 into a liquid where ultrasonic waves are applied, the emission liquid 2 emits light due to the acoustic chemical reaction in the emission liquid 2 in the sealed container due to applied ultrasonic waves. Therefore, by detecting an emission intensity using the photo sensor 3 and measuring the electrical output of the photo sensor 3 using a power meter 6, the ultrasonic intensity contributing to a chemical reaction can be easily measured and the correlation of the advance of the measurement intensity and chemical reaction can be obtained more easily. |
