N-level atom andN-1modes: Statistical aspects and interaction with squeezed light

Abstract
A model is presented to investigate the problem of interaction between an N-level atom and N-1 modes of the field. The model includes detuning. Constants of motion are obtained. The evolution operator is calculated, and the probability distribution function for the photon numbers is computed for different initial atomic states. The characteristic functions are computed. Different statistical quantities concerning the photons or the atomic system are given. The case of a three-level atom and two modes is considered for its different configurations. The phenomenon of collapses and revivals is discussed for squeezed light, and the effect of squeezing is shown in this phenomenon.
