What would even mean for radiation to cavitate?

An opera singer breaking glass isn't due to any sort of "cavitation" phenomenon, that happens because of a cascading resonance phenomenon (or termed in a way that relates to EM radiation, constructive wave interference)

What reason do you have for thinking that it might? Radiation and glass aren't exactly similar in any way, and it might be easier to properly answer your question if we knew why you ask.

Physical things do physical things. Radiation radiates and is disqualified from the question.

Radiation is photons or waves, glass is matter. How could radiation cavitate?
