The propagation of short-pulse lasers through several Rayleigh lengths of underdense plasma $[(1\char21{}4)%{n}_{\mathrm{cr}}]$ is studied using multidimensional fully explicit particle-in-cell simulations. The simulations model 80 to 600 fs, 1 \ensuremath{\mu}m wavelength pulses in the intensity range of $1.5\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{17}$ to $3.5\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{19}$ W/c${\mathrm{m}}^{2}$. A detailed account is given for the energy lost out of the focal cone due to a combination of collective absorption and scattering losses. The figure of merit for the nonlinear transmission losses of a given pulse length is the amount of Raman forward scattering exponentiation within a Rayleigh length.
