Abstract:
The nondegenerate two-photon interaction of a two-level atom with a broadband multimode squeezed vacuum is investigated. We
find that in the two-photon process the squeezed vacuum has a driving effect on the atom which can lead to an ac Stark effect
when the average photon number of the squeezed vacuum is larger than a critical value.
