Abstract
The problem of a collection of two-level atoms interacting with a single-mode classical electromagnetic field is considered. It is found that the model with an initial population inversion exhibits chaotic behavior that becomes stronger for higher atomic number density. The chaos is characterized by Fourier analysis and the maximal Lyapunov exponent. In the rotating-wave approximation, however, there is no prediction of chaos.Keywords
