Multiphoton Laguerre polynomial state as minimum uncertainty states of intensity-dependent squeezing

Abstract

For a general multiphoton annihilation operator, F = f(N)ap, where N = a†a, we find the explicit form of an operator, G†, which satisfies [F, G†] = 1. Based on the nonlinear realization of the SU(1,1) Lie algebra whose generators are [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and R0 = [N/p] + 1/2. We introduce the concept of intensity-dependent multiphoton squeezing and find that the state Lm(–yR†)|j⟩, 0 ≤ j ≤ p, where Lm(x) is a Laguerre polynomial, is a minimum uncertainty state for intensity-dependent multiphoton squeezing. We also construct the phase states for multiphoton operator, which turn out to be SU(1,1) generalized coherent states. Additionally, we show that the photon-added coherent state |α, m⟩ (m is a non-negative integer), which can be interpreted as a nonlinear coherent state, can be expressed as [Formula: see text] in the whole Fock space.
