Observation of Secondary Plasma Waves in Laser-Plasma Interaction Experiments
Description:
An experiment is described where the two products of the Langmuir Decay Instability (LDI) of a primary electron plasma wave have been observed and identified without any ambiguity. Primary Langmuir waves are driven by Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS) of an incident laser which provides well-defined electron plasma waves. Thomson scattering of a short wavelength probe beam yields measurements of the amplitude of the waves resolved in time, space, wavelength and wavevector, that allow identifica…
