Abstract

We study the interaction between a moving three-level lambda rubidium atom and a single mode cavity field in the presence of Kerr-like medium. We derive the basic equations of motion for atomic system and show that it is exactly solvable in the rotating wave approximation (RWA). The momentum increment, the momentum diffusion and the Mandel Q parameter of this system are studied. We investigate numerically the influence of Kerr-Like medium on the evolution of the previous statistical properties in the exact resonate and nonresonate case where the atom is initially prepared in a momentum eigenstate and the field in the squeezed state. It is found that the Kerr medium has an important effect on their evolution. Finally, conclusion and discussion are given.
