An analytical model for the electromagnetic fields in the bubble regime of the interaction of ultrahigh-intensity laser with plasma is given. The two-dimensional model is based on the results of particle-in-cell simulation and includes the bubble front region. It is used to consider the generation of dense ultrashort quasimonoenergetic high-energy electron bunches. The resulting bunch parameters agree fairly well with those from the simulation.
