Abstract :
A theoretical analysis is developed for the spectrum of the light scattered by two two-level atoms driven near resonance by an external coherent electromagnetic field. The atoms are assumed to relax to equilibrium with the driving field as a result of radiation damping. The explicit dependence of the coherent dipole-dipole interactions on the distance between the two atoms is taken into account. For the case of two two-level atoms with a fixed distance smaller than a wavelength, an analytical result for the resonance fluorescence line shape is obtained, and the result is compared to previous work
