Resonance fluorescence from an atom in a squeezed vacuum
H. J. Carmichael, Alistair S. Lane, Daniel F. Walls · Physical Review Letters · 1987
The fluorescent spectrum for a two-level atom which is damped by a squeezed vacuum shows striking differences from the spectrum for ordinary resonance fluorescence. For strong coherent driving fields the Mollow triplet depends on the relative phase of the driving field and the squeezed vacuum field. The central peak may have either subnatural linewidth or supernatural linewidth depending on this phase. The mean atomic polarization also shows a phase sensitivity.
