Description

For a multilevel atom or molecule irradiated by a finite superposition of monochromatic fields, the time-dependent rotating-wave-approximation Schroedinger equation can be reduced to an eigenvalue problem when the detunings satisfy a consistency condition. This condition is analyzed and the reduction performed using a graph associated with the interaction Hamiltonian
