In this paper we have theoretically studied the field distributions and resonance absorption in a laser-produced plasma filament. Under the condition of the cold plasma we derive the field equations, as well as their analytical solutions, to the radial and axial components of the electric field. Then, by the numerical calculations, we find that there exists a tunnel effect along the radial direction of the filament, i.e., the electric field reaches a maximum near the radial resonance point r0. Thus, the curves of variance of the radial and axial field components are obtained.
