Spontaneous emission spectrum from a three-level V-type atom prepared at (a) left circular polarized initial state with ϕ = π /2, and (b) right circular polarized initial state with ϕ = − π /2. Subscript “1” represents the spectrum along the cavity axis, while subscript “2” represents the spectrum from the sides of the cavity.
