Abstract

We consider the bremsstrahlung of electrons as they collide with ions in a strong laser field. The bremsstrahlung spectrum has been found to be enriched in sufficiently strong fields. Particular attention is given to the coherent bremsstrahlung component. We propose a qualitative model that explains our results. The possibility of experimentally observing the coherent bremsstrahlung component in a strong field is discussed.
