Abstract
An analytical method is developed for finding the exact stationary solution for the density matrix of atoms in a monochromatic resonance field of arbitrary ellipticity and intensity. A solution for the transitions F g=F → F e=F+1 (F g and F e are the angular momenta of the ground and excited states) is obtained in an analytical invariant form. The properties of this solution are investigated.
