The multiphoton Jaynes-Cummings model is analyzed for phase properties
of a coherent field state. The phase variances tend to the values for
a field with a randomly distributed phase of one-photon Jaynes-Cummin
gs model and the off-resonant two-photon Jaynes-Cummings model. Reviva
l of oscillations in the far off-resonant two-photon Jaynes-Cummings m
odel occur much later. On the other hand, the variance of the on-reson
ant two-photon Jaynes-Cummings model variances oscillate periodically.
