The theoretically predicted correlation of the decrease in intensity of the second-harmonic radiation and the increase of radiation scattered from a laser plasma at the fundamental frequency was detected experimentally for the first time. The role of supersonic breakup of a plasma in the suppression of the second-harmonic radiation is explained.
