    Plane-symmetric solutions of Einstein's field equations in vacuum, in the presence of electromagnetic fields and with cosmological constant are explored in null coordinates. The gravitational field of an infinite plane (uncharged and charged both) is thus obtained in a simple and systematic way. The method adopted for these solutions has possibilities of generalization.
