摘要

A cavity-modified master equation is derived for a coherently driven V-type three-level atom coupled to a singlemode cavity in the bad cavity limit. The influences of the cavity-induced quantum interference on the steady-state populations are analysed. We show that the population inversion can occur due to the effect of cavity-induced quantum interference.
