If a two-level atom is in the two-photon resonance with a quantized mode an
d simultaneously interacts with a quasi-resonance classical field, then a p
hoton exchange is observed in this system between the quantized and classic
al modes. It is demonstrated that such a physical system can serve as a sou
rce of squeezed radiation in the quantized mode. The squeezing can be arbit
rarily close to unity, while the radiation amplitude can be relatively larg
e. A situation is discussed when N atoms are in the two-photon resonance wi
th a quantized mode and simultaneously interact with a classical field. The
phenomenon of exponential superradiation is described when the number of p
hotons in the quantized mode exponentially depends on the number N of atoms
