Phys. Rev. A 58, 2528–2533 (1998)Effects of some nonideal experimental conditions on a micromaser-based preparation of bimodal number statesReceived 23 June 1997; revised 9 March 1998; published in the issue dated September 1998 The practical feasibility of a conditional experimental scheme for generating bimodal number states, taking into account from the beginning some important technological limits of the current experimental setup, is analyzed. The influence of the unavoidable occurrence of a nonideal performance in a realistic apparatus on the interaction mechanism chosen for guiding the cavity field towards the desired bimodal Fock state is pointed out. © 1998 The American Physical Society URL:
