Unified approach to multiphoton coherent states. Academic Article

abstract

• We obtain a large class of multiphoton annihilation operator (F) eigenstates by constructing an operator Gsuch that [F,G]=1. We show that almost all known coherent states, including the squeezed states and other nonclassical states such as the cat and the kitten states follow from our approach. Further, we show that all of them can be expressed as an exponential operator acting on the vacuum of the operator F. The technique can be easily generalized to deformed bosons. 1994 The American Physical Society.
