Study of half harmonic plasma waves in CO laser-plasma interactions

Half harmonic plasma waves, which can be generated by the two plasmon decay (TPD) and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) instabilities in the regions with plasma density near nc/4, are studied experimentally in the interactions of an intense (I l≤10¹⁴W/cm²) CO₂ laser beam with an underdense plasma...
