A THEORETICAL DESCRIPTION OF LASER-INDUCED DIELECTRONIC RECOMBINATION

We present the theoretical description of a dielectronic recombination process in which the autoionizing state is coupled to a bound state b y a laser field, The system is described by density matrix equations i n which the continuum components of the density matrix have been elimi nated. Model calculations with these density matrix equations have bee n performed in order to compare the spectra of laser induced dielectro nic recombination with the corresponding autoionization spectra.
