Abstract
Intensity-dependent fluorescence line-shape asymmetries have been observed for two-level atoms in a standing-wave excitation field. These asymmetries are attributed to the force experienced by the induced atomic dipoles in the field gradient of the standing wave. Preliminary calculations support the experimental observations.
