Intermediate coherent-phase(PB) states of radiation fields and their nonclassical properties

Intermediate states interpolating coherent states and Pegg-Barnett phase states are investigated using the ladder operator approach. These states reduce to coherent and Pegg-Barnett phase states in two different limits. Statistical and squeezing properties are studied in detail.Comment: 9 pages, 3 EPS figures, use epsf.sty.
