Abstract
The Raman interaction of a trapped ultracold ion with two traveling wave la sers is studied analytically by series expansion technique without the need of rotating wave approximation and the limitations of both the Lamb-Dicke limit and the weak excitation regime. As an example, a scheme for the prepa ration of Schrodinger-cat states in such a process is proposed beyond the w eak excitation regime.
