Abstract
Light scattered near the incident wavelength from CO/sub 2/ laser--solid target interactions in oblique incidence shows the spectral signature of Brillouin scattering both in the backward and in the near specular directions. This instability is apparently seeded by broadband scatter from the critical density surface and then amplified in the underdense plasma. 60% of the incident light is scattered, and the Brillouin contribution to total scatter may be large if the source is also large.
