Photon statistics of multimode even and odd coherent light
Nadeem A. Ansari, Vladimir I. Man’ko
Abstract
The even and odd coherent states are generalized for the multimode case. The explicit forms for the photon distribution, Q function, and Wigner function are derived. In particular, it is shown that for the two-mode case there exist strong correlations between these modes, under certain conditions, which are responsible for two-mode squeezing in the case of even coherent states.
