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