Abstract
It is shown that self‐generated magnetic fields can play a significant role in laser light absorption. Even normally incident light is then resonantly absorbed via the excitation of upper hybrid oscillations. Computer simulations and theoretical estimates for this absorption and the concomitant harmonic generation are given for parameters characteristic of some recent experiments.Keywords
