 Another consequence of the AC Stark splitting here is the appearance of Mollow triplets, a triple peaked fluorescence profile.Historically an important confirmation of Rabi flopping, they were first predicted by Mollow in 1969 and confirmed in the 1970s experimentally.When the detuning is much larger than the natural linewidth formula_39, the gradient force (caused by the induced electric dipole moment in the neutral atoms) is much larger than the scattering force, which leads to the following optical dipole potential
