It is known that an electromagnetic wave propagating in a rapidly ionizing medium undergoes a frequency upshift. Here experimental evidence and theory are presented for the simultaneous creation of a downshifted wave. There is excellent agreement between experimental results and computer simulation based on a simple theory.
