Abstract
From the explicit form of the probability amplitude for two cascade-placed beam splitters (with one squeezed state input and two coherent state inputs), we calculated the probability amplitude of the output beam as a function of the transmittance of the two beam splitters and the amplitude and the relative phase of the three input states. At a certain condition, the output beam had no vacuum and was in a highly nonclassical state that contained more than one photon. Armed with explicit probability amplitude for two beam splitters and two coherent states, the squeezed vacuum state might be a very useful tool for generating highly nonclassical light.
