Abstract
The dynamical behavior of the dipole interaction of an equally spaced multilevel atom is analyzed. The atom has a spinlike distribution of dipole transition moments and interacts with a single-mode radiation field. Detailed results for three-level ($J=1$) and four-level ($J=\frac{3}{2}$) systems are presented.
