Abstract

We have measured the emission spectrum of two-level-like Ba atoms driven by a continuous-wave bichromatic field containing a strong resonant component and a weaker component detuned from atomic resonance by the strong-field Rabi frequency. With the specified detuning, the weak field resonantly drives a transition of the atom--strong-field dressed states. Observed spectra show that each peak of the normal (single-driving-field) resonance fluorescence triplet is split into three subpeaks separated by one-half the weak-field Rabi frequency. Also seen is another triplet of peaks displaced from the atomic resonance by twice the strong-field Rabi frequency. Splitting of the normal triplet peaks can be explained through weak-field dressing of the strong-field dressed states. The origin of the additional triplet is less transparent. Comparison with theory is made.
