Abstract
Scattering of pulsed C-laser radiation by current-driven waves in a plasma is observed. A theory of the fluid-ion cyclotron instability is developed. The measured dispersion of the wave, the electron density fluctuation associated with it, and its subsequent stabilization and damping are interpreted theoretically.
