Abstract
A new classification of polarization states of quantum light fields is given using the concept of the polarization (P) spin due to the polarization gauge SUp(2) invariance of free light fields [I]. Generalized coherent states (GCS) asNociated with P-scalar biphotons are discussed. We also point out some applications of the results in the optical communication theory.
