Abstract
The frequency distribution of the second harmonic radiated by a two-level system in the presence of a two-photon resonant electromagnetic field is investigated. It is shown that the interaction of a permanent dipole with the driving field causes, in the second harmonic spectra, effects analogous to those belonging to the resonance fluorescence. The effects (dynamic Zeeman or Stark effects) are, however, of the second order in the amplitude of the driving field. The results are illustrated by using the vectorial model of Feynman, Vernon and Hellwarth (1957). Numerical results based on realistic parameters of a paramagnetic system are given.
