51. The Raman effect has been used in a cavity to investigate theoretically some important nonclassical phenomena such as antibunched light, squeezing, collapse and revival of Rabi oscillations, and vacuum field Raman splittings. See, for example, L. Schoendorff and H. Risken, Phys. Rev. A 41, 5147 (1990);
