Phys. Rev. A 78, 013407 (2008) [7 pages]Discrepancies in the resonance-fluorescence spectrum calculated with two methodsReceived 21 January 2007; revised 7 April 2008; published 10 July 2008 The discrepancies in the power spectrum of the light scattered by a coherently driven three-level atom are identified with the help of two methods [see, A. S. Manka et al. Phys. Rev. A 43 3748 (1991); M. R. Ferguson et al. Phys. Rev. A 54 2379 (1996)]. Moreover, the most prominent differences are the negative values as well as the greatly distorted profile in the spectrum. It is shown that the inhomogeneity or homogeneity of the two-time correlation Bloch vector equation is responsible for such discrepancies. © 2008 The American Physical Society URL:
