We examine squeezing properties of resonance fluorescence from two interacting atoms. Previous theoretical analyses of this model have predicted squeezing on one-photon resonance. Here we show that it is possible to obtain squeezing in two-atom resonance fluorescence through two-photon transitions induced by a cooperative atomic interaction. The squeezing occurs near a two-photon resonance and is not sensitive to the duration of the detection time in comparison with the decay time of the subradiant state. Moreover, squeezing near a two-photon resonance is completely independent of the direction of observation in respect to the atomic axis and can be significantly larger than that previously found on one-photon resonance.
