Abstract
It is shown that the single-mode Floquet formalism of Shirley can be extended to a generalized many-mode Floquet theory, yielding a practical non-perturbative technique for the semiclassical treatment of the interaction of a quantum system several monochromatic oscillating fields. The theory is illustrated by a detailed study of the population dynamics of a three-level system driven by two monochromatic radiation fields.
