In this note we investigate the stability of large-amplitude longitudinal relativistic plasma waves. We find that they are secularly stable, that is, small perturbations grow in time proportional to time but not exponentially with time. Similar results have recently been obtained for transverse waves by Romeiras (1978)

Generation of large amplitude plasma waves using high-power lasers in either the wakefield or beat-wave scheme is considered. We show how the nonlinear behavior of the plasma wave may make it advantageous to split the total energy into more than one pulse in the wavefield scheme. When a beat wave is generated by a pulse of finite length, we show how the final wave amplitude may be enhanced if the frequency of one or both pulses is chirped in such a way that the wavelength of the beat increases from the front to the back of the pulse.
