Abstract
Resonance fluorescence by an atom near the surface of a phase conjugator is studied. The atom is irradiated by a finite-linewidth laser beam, and the bandwidth is modelled by a randomly fluctuating phase. Expressions for the steady-state atomic density operator and the resonance fluorescence spectrum are obtained. For a small laser linewidth the spectrum contains two delta peaks: the usual peak at the laser frequency and its phase-conjugate image. In the limit of separated lines the spectrum consists of the Mollow triplet and its phase-conjugate replica. In the image triplet the positions of the fluorescence line and the three-photon line are reversed, as compared with the original triplet. Also, the intensity of the image spectrum is distributed differently over the three lines.
