Abstract

An investigation of the radiative processes for a collection of N two-state atoms strongly coupled to the field of a high-finesse optical cavity is presented. Observations of the spectral response of the composite system to weak external modulation reveal a coupling-induced normal-mode splitting. Linewidth averaging leads to linewidths below the free-space atomic width.
