Abstract
It is shown that penetration of relativistically intense laser light into a n overdense plasma, accessible by self-induced transparency, occurs over a finite length only. The penetration length depends crucially on the overden se plasma parameter and increases with increasing incident intensity after exceeding the threshold for self-induced transparency. Exact analytical sol utions describing the plasma-field distributions are presented. (C) 2000 MA IK "Nauka / Interperiodica".
