Time-integrated, spectrally resolved measurements between 400 and 750 nm have been made of light backscattered from plasmas produced by 450-psec pulses from a 351-nm laser at 10/sup 13/ to 10/sup 15/ W/cm/sup 2/. Threshold and saturation behavior for the two-plasmon decay, the absolute, and the convective Raman instabilities have been observed. The scattered light spectra suggest the presence of a steepened density profile at the quarter critical density.
