Applying the method of coherent-state orthogonalization expansion, the quantum entropy of the coherent state light field interacting with a Λ type three level atom is caculated accurately without rotating wave approximation. The influences of the couplings, mean photon number and the atom in different levels at the initial time on quantum entanglement are studied via quantum entropy theory. The results obtained from using the numerical method show that when atom is initially in the excited state, the entanglement reaches the maximum value in a short time, with the increase of the mean photon number, the period of entanglement evolution becomes clearly. The degrees of enganglement in a short time become lower due to the atom is initially in the superposition state of all three levels. Compared with the results of using the method of rotating wave approximation, the contribution of the without rotating wave approximation terms increase notably and the quantum entanglement curvies displays small zigzag-shaped oscillation, with the increasing of couplings and mean photon number.
