Abstract
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.
