Description
Using the intertwining relation we construct a pseudosuperpartner for a (non-Hermitian) Dirac-like Hamiltonian describing a two-level system interacting in the rotating wave approximation with the electric component of an electromagnetic field. The two pseudosuperpartners and pseudosupersymmetry generators close a quadratic pseudosuperalgebra. A class of time-dependent electric fields for which the equation of motion for a two-level system placed in this field can be solved exactly is obtained. A new interesting phenomenon is observed. There exists a time-dependent detuning of the field frequency from the resonance value such that the probability to populate the excited level ceases to oscillate and becomes a monotonically growing function of time tending to 3/4. It is shown that near this fixed excitation regime the probability exhibits two kinds of oscillations. The oscillations with small amplitude and frequency close to the Rabi frequency (fast oscillations) take place at the background of those with big amplitude and small frequency (slow oscillations). During the period of slow oscillations, the minimal value of the probability to populate the excited level may exceed 1/2, suggesting for an ensemble of such two-level atoms the possibility of acquiring an inverse population and exhibit lasing properties
