Abstract
Experimental measurements of stimulated Raman scattering of intense CO2 laser radiation from magnetically confined, underdense hydrogen plasmas are reported. The backscatter has a nonlinear intensity dependence as predicted by theory. The spectral structure is seen to consist of several apparent resonances as opposed to the single resonance of the simple theory. A possible explanation of this fine structure in terms of the physical effect of a density gradient is discussed.Keywords
