The theory of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in a plasma [S. E. Harris, Phys. Rev. Lett. 77, 5357 (1996)] is examined in the context of a bounded system. It is found via particle simulations that an overdense plasma slab reflects short pulses even in the presence of an EIT passband. However, a two-frequency laser, or ''beatwave,'' will cascade into a Stokes satellite with a frequency below the cut-off frequency. This can lead to an apparent EIT signature if a specific set of parameters are chosen. (c) 2000 American Institute of Physics.
