Abstract
The states generated from the vacuum in two parametric down-conversion crystals with aligned idler beams are studied. It is shown that after a measurement of the photon number in some of the modes, the emerging states can be related to SU(2) and SU(1,1) coherent acid minimum-uncertainty states.
