Abstract
The collective resonance fluorescence from a system of two-level atoms resonantly driven by a strong laser field with the phase and amplitude fluctuations is considered. The effect of the laser field fluctuations on the spectrum as well as the degrees of the second-order coherence of the fluorescent field is discussed in detail for the off-resonance case.

Résumé
On considère la fluorescence de résonance collective d'un système d'atomes à deux niveaux interagissant de manière résonnante avec un champ laser fort présentant des fluctuations de phase et d'amplitude. On discute en détail, dans le cas non résonnant, de l'effet des fluctuations du champ laser sur le spectre et aussi sur le degré de cohérence du second ordre.
