An exact analytic solution is obtained for stimulated Brillouin sidescattering of light by a plasma slab of finite width in the limit of strong ion-acoustic wave damping. Brillouin sidescattering is shown to predominate whenever the lateral extent of the plasma exceeds the length required to produce backscattering. Under certain conditions the sidescattered light can become more intense than the incident light.
