Abstract
A spectrum broadening due to the self-phase modulation of laser light was observed in a laserproduced deuterium and hydrogen plasma. Qualitative treatments of the density modulation due to the self-focusing process and the modulational instability are discussed. The theoretical estimation of spectrum broadening agrees fairly well with the experimental results.Keywords
