UNUSUAL LIGHT SPECTRA FROM A 2-LEVEL ATOM IN SQUEEZED VACUUM

We investigate the interaction of an atom with a multichannel squeezed vacuum. It turns out that the light coming out in a particular channe l can have anomalous spectral properties, among them being an asymmetr y of the spectrum. an absence of the central peak, as well as central hole burning for particular parameters. As an example plane-wave squee zing is considered. In this case the above phenomena can occur for the light spectra in certain directions. In the total spectrum these phen omena are washed out.
