Abstract
Collisional absorption of a weak high-frequency linearly polarized ele ctromagnetic wave by a plasma located in a strong laser field is studi ed. It is shown that the character of absorption essentially depends o n the polarization of the weak laser wave relative to the intense one. Conditions for negative absorption are derived. Prospects for experim ental demonstration of this effect are discussed.
