A new regime of anomalous penetration of relativistically strong laser radiation into an overdense plasma
arXiv:physics/0007037 · doi:10.1134/1.1324019
Abstract
It is shown that penetration of relativistically intense laser light into an overdense plasma, accessible by self-induced transparency, occurs over a finite length only. The penetration length depends crucially on the overdense plasma parameter and increases with increasing incident intensity after exceeding the threshold for self-induced transparency. Exact analytical solutions describing the plasma-field distributions are presented.
