Abstract
Excitation of electron plasma waves by the mixing of two microwave bea ms is studied in a laboratory plasma. The first experimental observati on of pump wave depletion is presented. The numerical calculations, ba sed on one-dimensional model, describing space-time evolution of eight interacting waves, are in good agreement with experimental data. Esti mation of the depletion on the basis of conservation laws is also disc ussed.
