OSTI ID:7189661
It is shown that even normally incident laser light will be resonantly absorbed near the critical density surface when there are self-generated DC magnetic fields. Theoretical estimates for the coupling mechanism, saturation amplitudes, and absorption are given and tested in computer simulations for parameters characteristic of some recent laser-plasma experiments.
