Abstract
We show that if we inject three-level atoms, at a low rate, through a double cavity, with the two upper levels strongly coupled, and if, in the theoretical analysis, one makes the rotating-wave approximation, this problem is formally equivalent to the ordinary two-level micromaser. We also obtain the relevant master equation and the photon statistics.
