The wave function of free electron in a strong laser plasma is obtained by solving exactly the Dirac equation in a curved space-time with optical metric for the laser plasma. When the laser field is diminshed to zero, the wave function is naturally reduced to relativistic wave function of free electron. The possible application of the wave function is discussed.
