We consider the bremsstrahlung of electrons as they collide with ions in a
strong laser field. The bremsstrahlung spectrum has been found to be enrich
ed in sufficiently strong fields. Particular attention is given to the cohe
rent bremsstrahlung component. We propose a qualitative model that explains
our results. The possibility of experimentally observing the coherent brem
sstrahlung component in a strong field is discussed. (C) 2001 MAIK "Nauka/
