Controlled beat-wave Brillouin scattering in the ionosphere

Nonlinear wave mixing has been explored in space plasma. Here the authors report beat-wave Brillouin scattering experiment at EISCAT, in which two radio waves at different transmitted frequencies are driving ion acoustic waves in the ionosphere, leading to stimulated Brillouin emissions escaping the...
