Abstract
The possibility of observing interference with two modes of different frequencies in a one-photon state by means of parametric upconversion is studied. This phenomenon could be utilized for discernment between pure and mixed states. There is also a close connection to the questio n of the extent of indefiniteness of the photon's path.
