We investigate polarization squeezing in squeezed coherent states with different amplitudes [1]. In contrast to the traditional characterization based on the full Stokes parameters [2,3], we experimentally characterize the polarization properties of each photon number manifold individually. This method provides a substantially richer description and allows to investigate the otherwise separate regimes of spin squeezing, of quadrature squeezing as well as of the intermediate regime in a single experiment. Intuitive insight into the nature of the different regimes is given via the Husimi Q function [4,5] of the polarization states with different coherent amplitudes.
