Abstract
The influence of Stark shift on the phase properties when an ideal cavity is filled with a Kerr-like medium and coupling is effected through nondegenerate Raman two-photon processes is studied. This has been carried out using the Hermitian phase formalism of Pegg and Barnett. We find that the phase properties of the field reflect the collapses and revivals of the level occupation probabilities in most situations. The interaction brings about the symmetrical splitting of the phase probability distribution. A number of interesting features are found and discussed.
