Abstract

Experimental data are reported on second harmonic generation (SHG) during the interaction between a Nd laser beam (20 ns pulse-duration and peak intensity 1013 W/cm2) and a plasma of density 1019 cm−3 produced in helium. The behavior of self-focusing and the onset of steep plasma gradients under the same experimental conditions have been previously characterized by independent techniques as already reported. In the light of these former findings, the observed SH magnitude, emission pattern and time dependence are briefly discussed and compared with expectations.
