The density functional of grand thermodynamical potential for a fluid of two-level atoms in external electrical field has been suggested. The uniform and nonuniform properties of such a fluid have been examined. Namely, the gas-liquid phase diagram has been constructed, the density profiles for a planar and spherical interfaces have been found, the surface tension and nucleation barrier have been calculated. The influence of the field on these quantities has been studied.
