A moving three-level atom interacting with a two-mode field: some atom–field aspects

In this paper, the interaction of a moving three-level atom and a two-mode quantized electromagnetic cavity field is extended to involve the effects of the atomic motion. Detuning parameters, Kerr nonlinearity, Stark shift contributions and arbitrary forms of intensity-dependent atom–field coupling have been taken into account. The constants of motion and the wave function, when the atom is initially prepared in superposition states and the field is initially prepared in squeezed coherent states, have been obtained. We calculate some statistical aspects such as atomic inversion, purity, Mandel Q-parameter, cross-correlation, momentum increment, momentum diffusion and Husimi Q-function.
