Spontaneous emission spectrum from a three-level V-type atom prepared at various “elliptical polarized” initial states which can be written as . (a) ϕ = π /4, (b) ϕ = π /2, (c) ϕ = 3 π /4, (d) ϕ = π , (e) ϕ = 5 π /4, (f) ϕ = 3 π /2, and (g) ϕ = 7 π /4. Subscript “1” represents the spectrum along the cavity axis, while subscript “2” represents the spectrum from the sides of the cavity.
