Based on previous work [A. Dehghani, B. Mojaveri, J. Phys. A 45, 095304
(2012)], we introduce photon-subtracted generalised coherent states (PSGCSs)
|z,m⟩r: =
am|z⟩r,
where m is a
nonnegative integer and |z⟩r denote the
generalised coherent states (GCSs). We have shown that the states |z,m⟩r are eigenstates of
a non-Hermitian operator f(n̂,m)â, where f(n̂,m) is a nonlinear function of the number operator N̂ . Also, the states | z, − m ⟩
r can be considered as another set of
eigenstates for negative values of m. They span the truncated Fock space without the
first m
lowest-lying basis states: | 0 ⟩ , | 1 ⟩ , | 2
⟩ ,...,|
m − 1 ⟩ which are reminiscent of the so-called
photon-added coherent states. The resolution of the identity property, which is the most
important property of coherent states, is realised for |z,m⟩r as well as for
|z, −
m⟩r. Some nonclassical
features such as sub-Poissonian statistics and quadrature squeezing of the states
|z, ±
m⟩r are compared. We
show that the annihilation operator diminishes the mean number of photons of the initial
state |z⟩r. Finally we show
that |z,m⟩r can be
produced through a simple theoretical scheme.
