Abstract

A recent work Pegg et al. , Phys. Rev. Lett. 81 , 1604 (1998) showed how to generate a running-wave superposition of zero- and one-photon field states, C 0 | 0 〉 + C 1 | 1 〉 , by physical truncation of the photon number superposition making up a coherent state. Here we discuss the extension of this device to the case of N components: C 0 | 0 〉 + C 1 | 1 〉 + ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ + C N | N 〉 .
