Abstract
In describing the nonlinear interaction of radiation with matter it is well known that the perturbation expansion technique is used to calculate the atomic wave functions and the transitions between the states of a system. However the technique, though involving all states of the system, is valid only in the limit of weak interaction fields and non-resonant interactions. For strong fields and resonant interactions, density matrix or dressed atom formulisms are commonly used though these exact treatments are restricted to simple two level schemes or approximations of these; their application to general resonant-near resonant multilevel interactions being prohibitively complex.
