The dielectronic satellite spectral lines, on the long-wavelength side of the hydrogenic Si XIV Lyman-α line, have been observed in the space-resolved spectra from laser-imploded glass microballoons. In the electron density range 1×{}10²² to 2×{}10²³ cm^-3, the intensities of the Si XIII 2s2p³P-1s2s³S and 2p²³P-1s2p³P satellite lines increase with density in agreement with numerical modeling. These satellite lines are a promising density diagnostic for the imploded glass plasma.
