We have considered the steady-state resonance fluorescence spectrum for a beam of two-level atoms, interacting with a strong driving field with a finite bandwidth inside a cavity. The competitive effects of cavity losses and the finite bandwidth of the intense driving laser beam on the resonance fluorescence spectrum have been discussed. Our results show that the usual three-peaked resonance fluorescence spectrum starts merging back into the central peak as the bandwidth of the driving field increases. Moreover, the asymmetry introduced by the detuning of the driving field having a finite bandwidth is also affected by the cavity losses.PACS number(s): 42.50.Lc, 42.50.Ar
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
