Abstract
The process of driving a plasma with a laser pump containing two frequencies has enjoyed renewed interest in the past several years due to interest in the Plasma Beat-Wave Accelerator (PBWA) scheme1. In this paper we report on experiments designed to study basic physics issues which are of importance to schemes which are currently under study at UCLA and elsewhere.
