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.
