We propose a scheme that is able to generate on demand a steady-state entanglement between two nondegenerate cavity modes. The scheme relies on the interaction of the cavity modes with driven two- or three-level atoms, which act as a coupler to build entanglement between the modes. We show that, in the limit of a strong driving, it is crucial for the generation of entanglement between the modes to imbalance populations of the dressed states of the driven atomic transition. In the case of a three-level V-type atom, we find that a stationary entanglement can be created on demand by tuning the Rabi frequency of the driving field to the difference between the atomic transition frequencies. The resulting degeneracy of the energy levels, together with the spontaneously generated coherence, generate a steady-state entanglement between the cavity modes. It is shown that the condition for the maximal entanglement coincides with the collapse of the atomic system into a pure trapping state. We also show that the creation of entanglement depends strongly on the mutual polarization of the transition atomic dipole moments.
