Abstract
It is well known that one of the mechanisms of second harmonic generation (SH) in plasmas is coherent scattering of the fundamental electromagnetic wave from the electron density fluctuations associated with electron plasma waves [1]. By making use of the characteristic polarization selection rules of SH generation [2], it should be possible to directly observe electron plasma waves by measuring properly selected SH contributions.
