Uncertainties of Schwinger angular-momentum operators for squeezed radiation in interferometers

Atkins and Dobson [Proc. R. Soc. London Ser. A 321, 321 (1971)] have constructed coherent angular-momentum states using the Schwinger bosonic representation and operating the displacement (coherent) operator on both of the bosonic vacuum states. By performing a squeezing transformation on the bosonic coherent states we generalize the idea of Schwinger angular-momentum coherent (SAMC) states to Schwinger angular-momentum squeezed (SAMS) states. We show that these SAMS states, which are constructed from the bosonic squeezed coherent states, exhibit squeezing of Schwinger angular-momentum operators under a certain range of parameters. The properties of these states are studied and compared with their single-mode bosonic counterpart. Application of these states in increasing the accuracy of an interferometer is discussed.
