Abstract
We consider the p-ordered characteristic function and its Fourier transform, the quasidistribution function, of squeezed coherent photons in a thermal state of photons and calculate the mean number and number variance of squeezed coherent photons. All the properties calculated from the previous characteristic function can be used to calculate said properties for photons in a thermal state of squeezed coherent photons via a parametric transformation. In particular, one can obtain the mean number and number variance via the parametric transformation.
