Abstract

Ultimately the properties of all optical fields are contained in the density matrix that specifies their quantum mechanical state. It has only recently been demonstrated that it is possible to actually reconstruct this density matrix from measured data, and to do so with temporal resolution of a few hundred femtoseconds.[1] This technique, known as Optical Homodyne Tomography (OHT), is unfortunately restricted to the measurement of only single mode radiation. In fact it selects out from the test field only those components which overlap temporally with the local oscillator pulse mode.
