Abstract
We consider the response of a laser-induced quadrupole-dipole collisional system driven by a strong dressing laser field with the aim of calculating the collisional cross section of a weak inducing laser probe. The addition of a second driving field to the traditional arrangement will cause magnitude changes of the spectra and modify the profile. The calculation results show that the bichromatic laser-induced collisional energy-transfer process can be an efficient way to probe Stark splitting of both the final state and intermediate state. The magnitude and position of the splitting spectral lines are strongly dependent on the intensity of the dressing laser field. The peak cross section almost reduces by a factor of 2 with the presence of the dressing laser. Also, in the antistatic wing, bright and dark lines are periodic, appearing with the increasing of the dressing laser intensity.
