PHASE PROPERTIES OF THE DISPLACED NUMBER STATE IN A KERR MEDIUM

Influences of the interaction of the displaced-number-state field with a Kerr medium on phase properties of the field are investigated. The interaction brings about the symmetrical splitting of the phase probab ility distribution (PPD) sometimes. Collapses and revivals have also b een found in the long-time behaviours of the Hermitian, cosine and sin e phase operators at high intensities. In terms of the PPD, the origin for generating these revivals has been revealed.
