Abstract
A treatment of a V-type three-level atom interacting with a single mode field in a cavity, taking explicitly the existence of forms of nonlinearities of both the field and the intensity-dependent atom-field coupling into account. Analytical expressions of the emission and absorption spectra are presented using the dressed states of the system. The characteristics of the emission and absorption spectra for a binomial state and a squeezed coherent state inputs are exhibited. The effects of the mean number of photons, detuning and the nonlinearities on the spectra are investigated. It is shown that features of the fluorescence and absorption spectra are influenced significantly by the kinds of the nonlinearities.
