Abstract
We report unusual profiles in the resonance fluorescence spectrum of a two-level atom interacting with a resonant classical field of interme diate intensity and a squeezed vacuum. These have a dispersive profile , quite unlike any previously described, and are a distinctive feature of the interaction of atomic systems with nonclassical fields. An app roximate analytic expression is obtained which explains these features , and it is shown that they arise from atomic correlations not probed in normal resonance fluorescence.
