Abstract
Two-plasmon decay of 10.6-μm radiation has been studied in a long density scale length (∼300 μm) plasma using Thomson scattering and interferometry. Enhanced levels of both electron and ion plasma waves have been observed near which are quenched during the C-laser pulse. Profile modification localized at has also been observed.
