Using the density matrix formalism, we prove an existence theorem of the periodic steady-state for an arbitrary periodically-driven system. This state has the same period as the modulated external influence, and it is realized as an asymptotic solution (t→+∞) due to relaxation processes. The presented derivation simultaneously contains a simple computational algorithm non-using both Floquet and Fourier theories, i.e. our method automatically guarantees a full account of all frequency components. The description is accompanied by the examples demonstrating a simplicity and high efficiency of our method. In particular, for three-level Λ-system we calculate the lineshape and field-induced shift of the dark resonance formed by the field with periodically modulated phase. For two-level atom we obtain the analytical expressions for signal of the direct frequency comb spectroscopy with rectangular light pulses. In this case it was shown the radical dependence of the spectroscopy lineshape on pulse area. Moreover, the existence of quasi-forbidden spectroscopic zones, in which the Ramsey fringes are significantly reduced, is found. The obtained results have a wide area of applications in the laser physics and spectroscopy, and they can stimulate the search of new excitation schemes for atomic clock. Also our results can be useful for many-body physics.PACS numbers: 42.62. Fi, 42.62.Eh, 45.30.+s, For the last several decades a rapid scientific-andtechnological progress was substantially connected with an expansion of the lasers and laser technologies at different areas of the science, engineering and industry. In this process the laser physics, nonlinear optics and laser spectroscopy take a special place. Many impressive successes in these directions are due to the theoretical support, motivation and interpretation of experimental researches. In this context a paramount importance has the formulation of mathematical models (equations) and finding of their solutions, which adequately describe the physical picture of investigated problems. As an example, for atomic mediums the density matrix formalism is the most widespread approach describing the atomfield interaction and different relaxation processes (spontaneous, collisional, etc.). Especial significance has socalled steady-state, which arises under the interaction of quantum system with stationary external fields. During long time this state plays a key role for theoretical description of the basic problems in the laser physics and spectroscopy [1-3].However, in the last years the devices, in which different parameters of electromagnetic fields are periodically modulated, have gotten a great importance. First of all, it is so-called frequency comb-generators using the periodic pulse modulation of the laser field. Such sources of the pulse radiation are actively used now in the modern atomic clocks for frequency measurements [4,5], and also they have promising perspectives for the direct frequency comb spectroscopy [6][7][8]. Also it is widely used now the phase (freque...
