Laser absorption in relativistically underdense plasmas by synchrotron radiation.
A novel absorption mechanism for linearly polarized lasers propagating in relativistically underdense solids in the ultrarelativistic (a ~ 100) regime is presented. The mechanism is based on strong synchrotron emission from electrons reinjected into the laser by the space charge field they generate...
