Abstract
In this paper we obtain analytical solutions of the Dirac and the Klein-Gordon equations coupled to a strong electromagnetic wave in the presence of plasma environment. These are a generalization of the familiar Volkov solutions. The contribution of the non-zero photon effective mass to the scalar and fermion wavefunctions, conserved quantities and effective mass is demonstrated for the first time. The new wavefunctions exhibit differences from Volkov solutions for nowadays available laser intensity.
