Abstract
In this thesis, we construct nonlinear coherent states for the Susskind-Glogower\noperators by the application of the displacement operator on the vacuum state.\nWe also construct nonlinear coherent states as eigenfunctions of a Hamiltonian\nconstructed with the Susskind-Glogower operators. We generalize the solution\nto the eigenfunction problem to an arbitrary jmi initial condition. To analize\nthe obtained results, we plot the Husimi Q function, the photon number\nprobability distribution and the Mandel Q-parameter. For both cases, we nd\nthat the constructed states exhibit interesting nonclassical features such as\namplitude squeezing and quantum inteferences due to a self-splitting into two\ncoherent-like states. Additionally, we show that nonlinear coherent states may\nbe modelled by propagating light in semi-innite arrays of optical bers.
