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 by a laser field, The system is described by density matrix equations in which the continuum components of the density matrix have been eliminated. Model calculations with these density matrix equations have been performed in order to compare the spectra of laser induced dielectronic recombination with the corresponding autoionization spectra.
