Abstract
We discuss a method for generating Fock (number) states in a single-mode traveling-wave optical field, based on a method we recently proposed for performing a quantum nondemolition measurement of parity and for the generation of parity eigenstates [C. C. Gerry, A. Benmoussa, and R. A. Campos, Phys. Rev. A 72, 053818 (2005)]. The approach is a kind of 'dial-up' scheme that is probabilistic but also depends partially on directed state reductive measurements.
