摘要：
The temporal envelope of plasma density oscillations in the wake of an intense (I similar to 4 x 10(18) W/cm(2), lambda = 1 mu m) laser pulse (400 fs) is measured using forward Thomson scattering from a copropagating, frequency doubled probe pulse. The wakefield oscillations in a fully ionized helium plasma (n(e)=3 x 10(19) cm(-3)) are observed to reach maximum amplitude (delta n(e)/n(e) similar to 0.1) 300 fs after the pump pulse. The wakefield growth (4 ps(-1)) and decay (1.9 ps(-1)) rates are consistent with the forward Raman scattering instability and beam loading, respectively.
