A three-level model is used for an atom driven by laser beams of constant amplitude; their detunings are proportional to the time. Simple formulas for the resulting transition probabilities are derived analytically. Special cases of these results are the Landau-Zener result for a two-level model and our earlier result for a symmetrical three-level model.
