Abstract
The energy level decay terms are introduced into the Schrdinger equation of a three-level atom in an electromagnetic field of circular polarization. By means of modulating frequency of a circularly polarized electromagnetic field and approximation of a strong laser, three special states of three kinds of three-level atom are discovered. Based on these special states, we further study the atom-lifetime of three-level atom in a circularly polarized electromagnetic field.
