Abstract We study the internal dynamics of an atom entering in its excited state in a damped cavity and strongly coupled to the field. We show that the time evolution of its dipole operator is described by a second order Langevin-like equation with time dependent coefficients. We use this equation to investigate the time dependence of the average population inversion and the spectrum of the emitted radiation. We discuss how Rabi oscillations are modified by the motion of the atom and how the spectrum changes from the vacuum Rabi doublet to a more complex structure having new lines, different frequency localizations and modified widths.
