Full Statistical Mode Reconstruction of a light field

Metadata Updated: June 7, 2023

The mode structure fully describes a light field and contains the information about the source of light without a direct access to the source. Here we offer the tool to extract this information from the measured photon number resolved (PNR) distribution. We present a software package aimed at simulating photon-number probability distributions of a range of naturally occurring classical and non-classical states of light. This software can generate arbitrary probability distributions based on the known mode structure of a light field. It also can solve the reverse problem, i.e. reconstructing the mode structure of a light field based on a given probability distribution.
