Abstract
The complete family of squeezed states of a continuous-wave mode pair of the electromagnetic held was generated and analyzed by tomographica l methods. Wigner functions, photon number distributions, density matr ices, and phase distributions were reconstructed with high accuracy. F eatures such as photon number oscillations, sub- and super-Poissonian photon statistics, and bifurcations of the phase distribution were obs erved.
