Resonant four-wave mixing of laser radiation in plasmas

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Experimental evidence of resonant four-wave mixing of CO2 laser radiation in a plasma is presented for the first time to our knowledge. Comparison of the experiment with theory indicates that, while collisions lead to a narrow spectral width of the ion acoustic resonance, convection and detuning owing to laser heating limit the enhancement of the signal reflectivity to below the expected value.
