The present paper provides a brief study on elementary properties of associated Laguerre polynomials that generate the ladder operators for the harmonic oscillator radial wave function in two dimensions.

 
 
 

Let jMN (r,j) be the wave function of the Two-Dimensional Harmonic Oscillator (2-DHO) in polar coordinates with natural units h = 1 and Mass = 1, which can be expressed in its radial and angular parts as (Wallace, 1984): and denoting the associated Laguerre polynomials (Abramowitz and Stegun, 1972).

Here the ladder operators , for the radial wave function (Equation 2), are determined such that: employing only elementary properties of , i.e., to construct without the use of specific techniques as the factorization method (Infeld, 1942; Infeld, 1949; Infeld and Hull, 1948; and Infeld and Hull, 1951).
