Spectral features of a large-angle stimulated Raman scattering (LA SRS) of a short electromagnetic pulse in an underdense plasma, which are caused by the presence in a plasma of a given linear long-wavelength electron plasma wave (LW EPW), are investigated. It is shown that the LW EPW, whose phase velocity coincides with a group velocity of a pulse and a density perturbation normalized to a background electron density, \delta n_{LW} / n_0, exceeds the ratio of the electron plasma frequency to the laser frequency, \omega_{pe} / \omega_0, suppresses the well-known Stokes branch of the weakly coupled LA SRS. Under the …
