Investigation of the onset and development of forward scattering in an underdense plasma.
We investigate the distortion of a spatial intensity modulation imposed on a 527 nm f/10 probe beam as it transmits through an underdense plasma characterized with Thomson scattering. Combining the measurements with full wave simulations of beam propagation through the entire plasma show that the ke...
