Abstract
We analyze the quantum states obtained by optical parametric amplification of polarization NOON states. First we study, theoretically and experimentally, the amplification of a two-photon state by a collinear quantum injected optical parametric amplifier (QIOPA). We compare the stimulated emission regime with the spontaneous one, studied by
Sciarrino et al. [Phys. Rev. A

. As a second step, we show that the collinear amplifier cannot be successfully used for amplifying N-photon states with
