Unusual light spectra from a two-level atom in squeezed vacuum
Gerhard C. Hegerfeldt, T I Sachse, Dirk G. Sondermann
We investigate the interaction of an atom with a multichannel squeezed vacuum. It turns out that the light coming out in a particular channel can have anomalous spectral properties, among them being an asymmetry of the spectrum, an absence of the central peak, as well as central hole burning for particular parameters. As an example plane-wave squeezing is considered. In this case the above phenomena can occur for the light spectra in certain directions. In the total spectrum these phenomena are washed out.
