In laser-fusion applications the laser electric field can reach large values near the critical surface. We propose a method of determining the strength of these electric fields experimentally. The idea is to use the fact that an intense laser field splits bound-bound radiative transition lines into a band of lines, the width of the band depending on the laser intensity. By seeding a target locally with a low-Z material it should be possible to obtain information on the strength of the laser electric field at different positions in the plasma.
