Nonresonant interaction of a three-level atom with cavity fields. I. General formalism and level occupation probabilities
Xiao-shen Li, D. L. Lin, Chang-De Gong · Physical Review A · 1987
We present a general formalism of the theory of a three-level atom interacting with one-mode or two-mode cavity fields of arbitrary detunings. The dynamic behavior of the mean atomic level occupation probabilities are investigated numerically as functions of time and detuning parameters. A number of novel phenomena are discovered and discussed.
