Phase Properties of Nonlinear Coherent States

Using the Pegg-Barnett fornalism we study the phase probability distributions and the squeezing effects ofmeasured phase operators in the nonlinear coherent states introduced by R.L. de Matos Filho and W. Vogel to describethe center-of mass motion of a trapped ion and the q-coherent states. Moreover, we have obtained the completenessrelation of nonlinear coherent states and proved that the q-Fock state |n>q introduced in many papers is, in fact, theusual Fock state.
