We have examined the excitation on coherent states of the pseudoharmonic oscillator which are obtained by repeated action of the raising operator on the usual coherent states. By using the density matrix approach, we have examined some interesting properties (including the nonclassicality) of these states, both in pure and also in mixed (thermal) cases.

In the paper we examine some properties of the generalized coherent states of the Barut-Girardello kind. These states are defined as eigenstates of a generalized lowering operator and they are strongly dependent on the structure constants. Besides the pure coherent states we focused our attention on the mixed states one, which are characterized by different probability distributions. As some examples we consider the thermal canonical distribution and the Poisson distribution functions. We calculate for these cases the Husimi's Q and quasi-probability P -distribution functions.

In this paper, we shall define a new family of coherent states which we shall call the “mother coherent states,” bearing in mind the fact that these states are independent from any parameter (the Bargmann index, the rotational quantum number J, and so on). So, these coherent states are defined on the whole Hilbert space of the Fock basis vectors. The defined coherent states are of the Barut-Girardello kind, i.e., they are the eigenstates of the lowering operator. For these coherent states we shall calculate the expectation values of different quantum observables, the corresponding Mandel parameter, the Husimi's distribution function and also the P- function. Finally, we shall particularize the obtained results for the three-dimensional harmonic and pseudoharmonic oscillators.
