Cavitation activity stimulation by low frequency field pulses.

The influence of a short-time action of a low-frequency ultrasound on the sonoluminescence generation by a high frequency pulsed field has been studied. This action remarkably lowers the cavitation thresholds and increases the sonoluminescence intensity. The stimulating effect of the low-frequency field action depends on its duration and on the intensities of both fields. Possible mechanisms of this effect are discussed.
