The optical processes of a single-atom model in the phonon field have been studied. To deal with the quantum electrodynamics phenomena in condensed matter microcavities, the influence of electron-phonon interactions has to be taken into account. As a clear picture, the effect of the lattice's oscillation on the optical transition in condensed matter microcavities is reduced to a model of a single atom in a phonon field. We deduce that in the case with a phonon participating, the Bloch equation is still satisfied. In the process of spontaneous emission for an electron interacting with a phonon, we derive the Rabi oscillation for the simple atom in the phonon field.
