Abstract
In this paper,the atomic population evolution vs.time in the system of three-level casade atom interacting with a single-mode coherent light field is investigated without rotating wave approximation.The influence of the initial mean photon number n of field,of the atom-field coupling sonstant λ and of the light frequency ω on the atomic population is also discussed.And we compare without rotating wave approximation with rotating wave approximation,and find many differences of the atomic population evolution curves on the identical initial field-strength.It has been shown that because of the influence of the virtual-photon process,the little saw-tooth which represents the quantum noise of the system appear in the evolution curves of thae atomic population of the stimulated radiation field.With the increase of light frequency ω,the quantum noise of the system decreases,and then disappears.And with the increases of the initial field-strength n,the quantum noise of the system increases gradually.Meanwhile,the initial field-strength n and atom-field coupling constant λ influence the oscillation period the quantum collapse-revival of the atomic population evolution curves of stimulated radiation field,too.
