Abstract
We present a theory for the Raman lineshape of a three level system (a, b and c) being driven by a strong radiation field and perturbed by dephasing collisions. The present theory is not limited to the impact limit of fast collisions and incorporates properly the dynamics of the collisions. The final expression is given in terms of the three ordinary weak field line-shapes corresponding to the ab, bc and ac transitions. Numerical calculations are presented and the qualitative and quantitative differences between the impact and non-impact regions are discussed.
