Abstract
In this paper, we analyze the spectral and statistical properties of atoms driven by a strong, single-mode, light field and coupled to a reservoirs of electromagnetic field modes whose spectral density displays a strong frequency dependence. One realisation of this system consists of a driven atom confined within an optical cavity. We shall discuss in detail some new aspects of this problem, recently discovered by us1,2:
-
a)
dynamical modification of spontaneous emission;
-
b)
squeezing and dressed-state-polarization effects.
