We examine how a Laguerre-polynomial-weighted chaotic photon field (LPWCPF), whose density operator is [Formula: see text], evolves in an amplitude-damping channel. By using a newly derived generating function of two-variable Hermite polynomials we obtain the evolution law of LPWCPF, which turns out to be a new LPWCPF with a new parameter, depending on 1 − e−2κt, where κ represents decay rate. The technique of integration (summation) within an ordered product of operators is used in our discussions.
