Abstract
A detailed study of the electromagnetic field's configuration inside plasma s generated on solid surfaces by ultrashort laser pulses is given in the pr esent work. The radiation due to the nonrelativistic motion of the electron s in the overdense region is considered the main source of high harmonics, whose polarization dependence on the fundamental beam is treated to explain the experimentally observed polarization properties of the harmonics.
