Polarization-dependent absorption of obliquely incident laser radiation by dense plasmas has been observed. Irradiation of a planar plasma with a nearly collimated p-polarized laser beam shows an enhancement in absorption by a factor of 2 to 2.5 over s-polarized irradiation. Theoretical estimates of the effect of resonance absorption under the present conditions show agreemwnt with the experimentally observed results.
