NONLINEAR SCATTERING OF A LASER BEAM FROM A PLASMA.

Abstract

It is shown that a single ruby laser beam may be used in a nonresonant manner to excite coherent electron density fluctuations at the second harmonic of the incident frequency. The possibility of observing the resulting nonlinear scattering at the third harmonic with currently available techniques is discussed briefly. (Author)
