This　paper　proposes　an　alternative　scheme　for　generating　cluster-type　of　entangled　coherent　states.　This　scheme　is　based　on　resonant　interaction　of　a　two-mode　cavity　with　a　two-level　atom　driven　by　strong　classical　fields.　Thus　the　required　interaction　time　is　greatly　shortened,　which　is　very　important　in　view　of　decoherence.　©　2008　Chin.　Phys.　Soc.　and　IOP　Publishing　Ltd.
