The polarization-dependent resonance-fluorescence spectra of a bichromatically driven four-level atom are studied. It is shown that very narrow spectral lines can occur in the incoherent part of the spectra for polarization directions that are different from that of the driving field. Squeezing properties of the fluorescent light are also investigated. The degree of squeezing depends on the polarization direction and reaches a maximum of remarkably 56%.
