Phase properties of a one-mode coherent field interacting with a three-level atom under two-photon resonance are studied using the new phase formalism of Pegg and Barnett (1988). The connection between the collapse and revival phenomenon and dynamical properties of the field phase is found. Interesting features such as the partial trapping of the field phase in its initial state are discovered and discussed.
