Sonoluminescence using microwaves?

[infinitrode]

Would it be possible to produce the same effect using electromagnetic waves instead of sound waves?

I'm not certain how sonoluminescence works exactly, or if anyone truly does, but I do know that microwaves have an effect on the atoms themselves, where the sound waves simply "move" atoms around. It is the the atoms pushing in around a gas bubble which cause its collapse which leads to the phenomenon.
