Abstract
We consider a lossless two-photon micromaser with atomic polarization. We find that for particular values of the atomic flight time, the field evolves to a pure state which can be made of a superposition of even-photon-number states or odd-number states. These states approach to a perfectly squeezed state as the upper limit of the ‘‘trap’’ increases.Keywords
