We introduce Hermite polynomial excitation squeezed vacuum (SV) Hn(Ô)S (r) |0 withÔ = µa + νa † . We investigate analytically the nonclassical properties according to Mandel's Q parameter, second correlation function, squeezing effect and the negativity of Wigner function (WF). It is found that all these nonclassicalities can be enhanced by Hn(Ô)operation and adjustable parameters µand ν. In particular, the optimal negative volume δoptof WF can be achieved by modulating µand ν for n 2,while δ is kept unchanged for n = 1. Furthermore, the decoherence effect of phase-sensitive enviornment on this state is examined. It is shown that δ with bigger ndiminishes more quickly than that with lower n, which indicates that single-photon subtraction SV presents more roboustness. Parameter M of reservoirs can be effectively used to improve the nonclassicality.
