We construct a class of nonlinear coherent states (NLCSs) by introducing a more general nonlinear function and study their non-classical properties, specifically the second-order correlation function g(2)(0), Mandel parameter Q, squeezing, amplitude squared squeezing and Wigner function of the optical field. The results indicate that the non-classical properties of the new types of even and odd NLCSs crucially depend on nonlinear functions. More concretely, we find that the new even NLCSs could exhibit the photon-bunching effect whereas the new odd NLCSs could show photon-antibunching effect. The degree of squeezing is also significantly affected by the parameter selection of these NLCSs. By employing various forms of nonlinear functions, it becomes possible to construct NLCSs with diverse properties, thereby providing a theoretical foundation for corresponding experimental investigations.
