A　method　is　presented　for　generating　highly　squeezed　states　of　a　cavity　field　via　the　atom-cavity　field　interaction　of　the　Raman　type.　In　the　scheme　a　sequence　of　three-level　A-type　atoms　interacts　with　a　cavity　field,　displaced　by　a　classical　source,　in　a　Raman　manner.　Then　the　atomic　states　are　measured.　By　this　way　the　cavity　field　may　collapse　onto　a　superposition　of　several　coherent　states,　which　exhibits　strong　squeezing.　The　scheme　can　also　be　used　to　prepare　superpositions　of　many　two-mode　coherent　states　for　two　cavity　fields.　The　coherent　states　in　each　mode　are　on　a　straight　line.　This　is　the　first　way　for　preparing　multi-component　entangled　coherent　states　of　this　type　in　cavity　QED.
