Abstract
It is found that strong squeezing can be obtained by special superposition of coherent states along a straight line in the α -plane. This mechanism opens new possibilities for squeezing, e.g., of the molecular vibrations during a Franck-Condon transition induced by a short coherent light pulse.Keywords
