Abstract

The "classical limit" of the q-analogue quantized radiation field is studied paralleling conventional quantum optics analyses. Results for the number-phase uncertainty relations can be q-independent in the number basis. The variance of the generic electric field is found to be ≥ λh{stroke}ω/2ε{lunate}0V, where λ>1 if q≠1. At large amplitudes, the amplitude itself would be quantized if the available resolution of unity for the q-analogue coherent states is accepted in the formulation.
