We investigate an atomic $\Lambda$-system with one transition coupled to a laser field and a flat continuum of vacuum modes and the other transition coupled to field modes near the edge of a photonic band gap. The system requires simultaneous treatment of Markovian and non-Markovian dissipation processes, but the photonic band gap continuum can not be eliminated within a density matrix treatment. Instead we propose a formalism based on Monte-Carlo wavefunctions, and we present results relevant to an experimental characterization of a structured continuum.
