Two-photon Bloch’s equations
is the amplitude of an ``excitation’’ at
Its value cannot exceed the radius of the sphere(full excitation of all atoms in phase)
If a third harmonic is generated,Raman excitation of the transition (phase matching)
is the amplitude of an ``excitation’’ at

Interaction of light with a cascade of levels near resonance
This systems takes a simpler form is we define the Rabi frequencies as:

Purpose: create a two photon population inversion
As before:
But we need to be ON resonance
Adiabatic approximation breaks down!
