We study the exact solution of the lambda, vee and cascade type of three-level system with distinct Hamiltonian for each configuration expressed in the SU(3) basis. The semiclassical models are solved by solving respective Bloch equation and the existence of distinct non-linear constants are discussed which are different for different configuration. Apart from proposing a qutrit wave function, the atom-field entanglement is studied for the quantized three-level systems using the Phoenix-Knight formalism and corresponding population inversion are compared.
