INTENSITY DEPENDENT COUPLING HAMILTONIAN VIA MULTI-PHOTON INTERACTION IN A KERR MEDIUM
We study the dynamics and quantum characteristics of a single two-level atom interacting with a single mode cavity field undergoing a multi-photon processes in the presence of a nonlinear Kerr-like medium. The wavefunctions of the multi-photon system are obtained when the atom starts in the excited and in the ground state. The atomic inversion, the squeezing of the radiation field and the quasiprobability distribution Q-function of the field are discussed. Numerical results for these characteristics are presented when the atom starts in the excited state and the field mode in a coherent state. The influence of the presence and absence of the number operator and the Kerr medium for the one- and two-photon processes on the evolution of these characteristics are analyzed.
