The results reported here from experimental investigations on nonequilibrium effects in variable-thickness microbridges suggest that the stimulation of superconductivity by microwave radiation is determined mainly by the ''jitter'' of the potential well, which Aslamazov and Larkin considered, and occurs concurrently with the stimulation of superconductivity by a dc current. The electron-phonon interaction time is estimated from the position of singularities on the current-voltage characteristics of the microbridges as the result of the nonequilibrium effects.
