It is demonstrated experimentally that the plasma-wake–mediated resonant coupling of the longitudinal in-plane and out-of-plane collective motion in two-dimensional plasma crystals can be induced by applying an external forcing. The experimental observations are supported by numerical analysis of the forced collective dynamics of particles with the wake-mediated interactions.
