Induced Compton scattering (ICS) is a nonlinear interaction between intense\nelectromagnetic radiation and a rarefied plasma.\n Although the magnetosphere of pulsars is a potential cite at which ICS occurs\nin nature, the ICS signatures have not been discovered so far.\n One of the reasons for non-detection of the ICS signatures is that we still\ndo not attain the concrete understanding of such nonlinear plasma interactions\nbecause of their nonlinear nature and of the lack of experimental\nconfirmations.\n Here, we propose a possible approach to understand ICS experimentally in\nlaboratories, especially, with the use of the up-to-date short-pulse lasers.\n We find that the scattered light of ICS has characteristic signatures in the\nspectrum.\n The signatures will be observed in some current laser facilities.\n The characteristic spectrum is quantitatively predictable and we can diagnose\nthe properties of the scattering plasma from the signatures.\n
