Accelerated atom and light interaction

I'm wondering if quantum mechanics has a particular answer to the Doppler effect on light emitted/absorbed/reflected by accelerated bodies, considering that an accelerated atom is something more complex than just a succession of atoms at different velocities since the atom is subject to influences and perturbations - the incident light being one perturbation more. Is it possible that the production of a single photon undergoes fluctuations during the process, or does it make no sense? Thanks in advance for any hints about a possible finer treatement of this process.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
