Photon-added Coherent States in Parametric Down-conversion
Abstract
Photon-added coherent states have been realized in optical parametric down-conversion by Zavatta et al [Science 306 (2004) 660-662]. In this report, it is established that the states generated in the process are ideal photon-added coherent states. It is shown that the scheme can generate higher order photon-added coherent states. A comparative study of the down-conversion process and atom-cavity interaction in generating the photon-added coherent states is presented.
