Abstract: In this paper, we study the interaction between a two-level atom and three types of interaction of three quantized modes of a quantized field, namely: two parametric amplifiers and a frequency converter. The SU(1, 1) algebra is used to represent the combination of the interacting modes. A canonical transformation is used to cast the Hamiltonian into a tangible form. The solution of the Schrodinger equation for the wave function is given analytically. Using this solution we discuss numerically the atomic inversion, the degree of entanglement through the linear entropy and the variance entropy for chosen values of the detuning and coupling parameters. It is shown that the atomic inversion can be controlled through the rotation angle α and the atomic angle θ as well as the Bargmann index k. The degree of entanglement is affected by both α and θ in addition to the ratio ϵ. Variance squeezing is sensitive to changes in the atomic and the phase angles besides the parameter k. For entropy squeezing, the effective parameters are α, θ and k.
