| Abstract: | Abstract We show how two level atoms can be used to determine the local time dependent spectrum. The method is used in a one-dimensional cavity. The spectrum obtained is compared with the mode spectrum determined using spatially filtered second-order correlation functions. The spectra obtained using two level atoms give identical results with the mode spectrum. One benefit of the method is that only one time averages are needed. It is closely related to a realistic spectrum measurement. |
