Abstract
Resonance fluorescence of a driven Jaynes-Cummings system is studied theoretically when the cavity is driven by a classical field of arbitrary strength. In the regime of strong atom-cavity coupling, there occur anomalous resonance peaks at etc., with the modified vacuum Rabi frequency These new peaks and the observed shift of the vacuum Rabi splitting are to be explained in the language of the quasienergy levels induced dynamically by the strong driving field. In the presence of significant damping the spectrum reflects the photon-number distribution inside the cavity, and particularly, a bimodality of the distribution results in a unique quintuplet resonance fluorescence spectrum.
