Description

An experiment to generate a plasma wave by the beat wave process is described. The beat wave is generated by mixing two copropagating intensen laser beams at 1.053 μm and 1.064 μm. The plasma wave is observed by monitoring the sideband generated by the interaction of the plasma wave with a third copropagating laser beam at 0.526 μm. Plasma waves with electric field 3 x 106 V/cm are observed. (orig.)
