Decay properties of a two-level atom in a non-resonant damped cavity

The upper state population evolution and the spontaneous emission spectrum of a two-level atom in a non-resonant damped cavity are investigated by using the resolvent operator. The analytic expressions of the spectrum and the upper state population with strong and intermediate coupling are obtained. The influence of coupling intensity and detuning on atomic spectrum is discussed. We find that the detuning affects strongly the shape of spectra.
