Abstract
In this communication we introduce a new model which represents the interaction between an atom and two fields injected Simultaneously within a cavity including the nonlinear couplers. By using the canonical transformation the model can be regarded as a generalization of several well-known models. We calculate and discuss entanglement between the tripartite system of one atom and the two cavity modes. For a short interaction time, similarities between the behavior based on our solution compared with the other simulation based on a numerical linear algebra solution of the original Hamiltonian with truncated Fock bases for each mode, is shown. For a specific value of the Kerr-like medium defined in this letter, we find that the entanglement, as measured by concurrence, may terminate abruptly in a finite time. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.
