Abstract
Recently, we have commented on equivalent magnetic and optical resonance experiments involving modulated fields.1 Also, we have shown how the concepts of multiple quantum resonances and Bloch-Siegert shifts apply to the interaction of a fully-amplitude-modulated (FAM) field with a two-level atom.2 Elaborating on work by Agarwal and Nayak,3 we apply the same concepts here to the interaction of not- fully amplitude-modulated (AM) or frequency-modulated (FM) fields (strictly speaking, phase-modulated fields) with a two-level atom. Specifically, we calculate the resonance behavior in the limit of no damping. Among the new features that we have found are the curious role of Haroche-like resonances4 and the appearance of interference effects in modulated components of the interaction.
