A formalism is developed for the study of autoionizing states under the influence of strong lasers. It is cast in both a semiclassical as well as a fully quantum-mechanical form. A set of integrodifferential equations is derived and solutions are obtained for certain special cases. It is demonstrated that the strong field causes significant distortion of the line profile and that new effects appear in double optical resonance when autoionizing states are involved.
