The impact of a polychromatic field on a two-level medium is considered in the limit of small amplitudes. In the indicated limit, we obtained asymptotic expansions of the polarization spectra of an arbitrary order of smallness. These polarization spectra were compared with the results of the numerical solution of the density matrix equation. Compared to numerical calculation methods, the asymptotic expansion offers an analytical estimation of the contribution of each individual component of a polychromatic field and a description of the intermode interaction. However, with an increase in the intensity of the driving field, the computational efficiency of the method decreases, since, to achieve the required accuracy, it is necessary to increase the order of the asymptotic expansion.
