Abstract
We show that the interaction between a movable mirror with a quantized field tha t interacts with a two-level atom may be simplified via a transformation that involves Susskind-Glogower operator s (SGO). By using this transformation it is easy to show that we can cast the Hamiltonian, after a unitary transformation, into a Hamiltonian that is equivalent to the ion-laser Hamiltonian. We would like to stress that the transformation in terms of SGO already simplifies e nough the Hamiltonian in the sense that, in an exact way, it eliminates one of the three-subsystems, namely the quantized fie ld.
