Abstract

The theory of spontaneous emission was originally developed by Weisskopf and Wigner [10.1]. However, the sidebands for coherent single-mode fields were found by Mollow in the 1960s [10.2]. The physical origin of the sidebands in the resonance fluorescence spectrum can be nicely seen using dressed states [10.3].
