Abstract

We study laser-intensity effects in two-photon collisional redistribution of radiation. Thereby we concentrate on a special case of recent experimental interest, where the transition from the excited to the final state is saturated by a strong laser field. Both exciting lasers are, however, assumed weak in the sense that the dynamics of a collision between the radiator and a perturber is not significantly influenced by the laser fields. In particular, our treatment explains the intensity independence of the polarization dependence of total fluorescence from the final state which has been measured previously even if the transition from the excited to the final state is saturated.
