"Quantum Interference in Two-Photon Excitation: Part II. Non-Perturbative Solution,"
In preparation, to be published in PRA.

To generalize and complement the results of our previous paper (abstract), we present a non-prerturbative solution to the problem of two-photon excitation of a three level atom by three phase correlated fields is presented. As previously, we derive analytic expressions for the excited state population and visibility of the fringe pattern due to Quantum Interference as a function of the intensity of the three exciting fields, their relative phases and their detunings from the atomic transitions, are derived. Effects associated with saturation and the QI in the presence of the strong exciting fields are analyzed,
