In this study, we investigate the transparency of an overdense inhomogeneous plasma slab. This anomalous transmission is achieved when the conditions provided for the incident electromagnetic wave to excite coupled surface waves on the both sides of the slab. These conditions require that the homogeneous overdense plasma, or the metallic film, is placed between two dielectric layers. Here, the inhomogeneity of the plasma allows us to naturally establish the conditions by considering a specific shape for the geometry of the density profile. Within this profile, the density linearly grows up from the both sides of the slab and the corresponding dielectric permittivity simultaneously gains negative value. We obtain the exact solutions of the wave equations inside the plasma and study the conditions for the high transparency. The transmission losses due to the collision effects are also discussed.
