  We present a model calculation of the spectral function of an electron in a
superconducting resonating valence bond (RVB) state. The RVB state, described
by the phase-string mean field theory is characterized by three important
features: (i) spin-charge separation, (ii) short range antiferromagnetic
correlations, and (iii) holon condensation. The results of our calculation are
in good agreement with data obtained from Angle Resolved Photoemission
Spectroscopy (ARPES) in superconducting Bi 2212 at optimal doping
concentration.
