Zusammenfassung:	A detailed study of the electromagnetic field's configuration inside plasmas generated on solid surfaces by ultrashort laser pulses is given in the present work. The radiation due to the nonrelativistic motion of the electrons in the overdense region is considered the main source of high harmonics, whose polarization dependence on the fundamental beam is treated to explain the experimentally observed polarization properties of the harmonics.
