Abstract
In this paper, we investigate revival and super revivals of nonlinear coherent states while generating these states through the interaction of coherent states of a generalized isotonic oscillator with the nonlinear media during time evolution. We construct the f-deformed generalized isotonic oscillator which is a non-isochronous partner of the generalized isotonic oscillator. We connect these two nonlinear oscillators through deformed ladder operators. The generalized isotonic oscillator possesses linear energy spectrum whereas f-deformed generalized isotonic oscillator exhibits nonlinear energy spectrum. The presence of the cubic nonlinearity in the f-deformed oscillator motivates us to study revivals, super and fractional revivals of coherent states which are nonlinearly evolved. We also investigate time-dependent expectation values of uncertainties in certain canonically conjugate variables and demonstrate that at revival and super revival times the uncertainty relation attains its minimum value.
