  "abstract": "It is shown that 100% squeezed output can be produced in the resonance fluorescence from a coherently driven two-level atom interacting with a squeezed vacuum. This is only possible for $N=1/8$ squeezed input, and is associated with a pure atomic state, i.e., a completely polarized state. The quadrature for which optimal squeezing occurs depends on the squeezing phase $\\Phi ,$ the Rabi frequency $\\Omega ,$ and the atomic detuning $\\Delta $. Pure states are described for arbitrary $\\Phi ,$ not just $\\Phi =0$ or $\\pi $ as in previous work. For small values of $N,$ there may be a greater degree of squeezing in the output field than the input - i.e., we have squeezing amplification.",
