Abstract

Polya states of single mode radiation field are proposed and their algebraic characterization and nonclassical properties are investigated. They degenerate to the binomial (atomic coherent) and negative binomial (Perelomov's su(1,1) coherent) states in two different limits and further to the number, the ordinary coherent and Susskind-Glogower phase states. The algebra involved turn out to be a two-parameter deformation of both su(2) and su(1,1). Nonclassical properties are investigated in detail.
