Photon distribution for one mode mixed light with generic gaussian Wigner function
Abstract
For one-mode light described by the Wigner function of generic Gaussian form the photon distribution function is obtained explicitly and expressed in terms of Hermite polynomials of two variables.The mean values and dispersions of photon numbers are obtained for this generic %mixed state.Generating function for photon distribution is discussed.Known partial cases of thermal state,correlated state,squeezed state and coherent state are considered.The connection of Schrodinger uncertainty relation for quadratures with photon distribution is demonstrated explicitly.
