Abstract
Evolution of the entropy of the field in a system of Λ-type three-level atom interacting with two-mode SU(2) coherent field is studied.The influences of atom-field coulping strengths,the maximum possible number of photons in both modes N and a complex parameter related to the partition of photons in the SU(2) coherent state field modes ξ on evolution of the entropy of the field are discussed.The results obtained using the numerical method show that when atom-field coulping strengths g1 and g2 are nearly equel,evolution of the entropy of the field displays periodic oscillation;when the difference between atom-field coulping strength g1 and g2 is obvious,evolution of the entropy of the field displays collapse and revival phenomena.On the other hand,the times of collapses increases with the increase of the maximum possible number of photons in both modes N and with the decrease of the ratio between atom-field coulping strength of two single-mode l and a complex parameter related to the partition of photons in the SU(2) coherent state field modes ξ.
