Boson inverse operators and associated coherent states

Anil Kumar Roy, C. L. Mehta · Quantum and Semiclassical Optics Journal of the European Optical Society Part B · 1995

Making use of the recently introduced inverses of boson creation and annihilation operators, the authors show that the 'photon-added coherent states' are eigenstates of the operator (a Dagger m aa Dagger -m ) and also of the operator (a-ma Dagger -1 ) with eigenvalue alpha . The authors discuss completeness of these states. They obtain another family of photon-added coherent states which are proportional to a -m mod alpha ), where m is a positive integer and mod alpha ) is a coherent state. They show that these are the eigenstates of the operator (a -m a m+1 ) with eigenvalue alpha . Analogously, the authors introduce 'photon-depleted coherent states', a Dagger -m mod alpha ), and show that these are the eigenstates of the operator (a+ma Dagger -1 ) with eigenvalue alpha . The conditions for squeezing and antibunching of photons have also been discussed.
