A three-level atom in Λ configuration trapped in a single-mode Fabry-Perot optical cavity. It
is assumed that the transition between levels 2 and 3 in the atom is accomplished through the number
of q photons. To solve the steady-state master equation for the atom-cavity system, the matrix continued
fraction method for applied physical quantities is used. The results show that by raising the number of
transitions, the curves of the population inversion finally overlap with one another and the output mean
photon number from the optical cavity rises as well as the laser effect appears in the system. On the
other hand, the outcomes reveal that by increasing the number of transitions despite the negativity of the
population inversion, the number of output photons from the cavity grows and lasing interval becomes
larger. Eventually the steps of the transformation from the three-level atom to two-level one in the case
of multi-photon transition under several specific conditions have been studied. The obtained results of
the simulations confirm the accuracy of the used approximations in the two-level pattern appropriately.
In summary, lasing process without population inversion along with the multi-photon transition in the
three-level atom is discussed.
