Abstract
In this paper, we present a simple purely algebraic method to solve a coupled-channel cavity QED model with three nondegenerate quantized field modes proposed by Wang, Puri, and Eberly [Phys. Rev. A 46, 7192 (1992)]. By transforming it into one describing a spin-1/2 particle in a magnetic field and utilizing the relations between field variables and an orbital angular momentum, we can easily obtain energy eigenvalues without the need to know concrete expressions for eigenstates in terms of the usual Fock states, and analytical expressions of evolution and atomic inversion operators. The eigenstates of energy and orbital angular momentum are also explicitly expressed in terms of Fock states. © 1996 The American Physical Society.
