Abstract
The near-photon-number eigenstates introduced by Yuen [Phys. Rev. Lett. 56, 2176 (1986)] link together squeezing, antibunching, and phase properties of light. They are the crescent states generated by the crescent operator introduced here, and physically they represent another explicit example of minimum uncertainty states of the Shapiro-Wagner phase concept.Keywords
