Abstract
We examine the eight-port homodyne detector when there is a vacuum at two of the input ports. It can then be described as a generalized meas urement on the other two fields. We derive the class of two-field oper ators whose statistics can be deduced from the measurement for differe nt choices of beamsplitters.
