Abstract
We extend the Pegg-Barnett formalism, which describes the phase of a s ingle-mode light field and is based on finite-dimensional Hilbert spac es, to the infinite-dimensional case. The infinite-dimensional version s of the Pegg-Barnett phase operators operate on a linear vector space which contains the conventionally used infinite-dimensional Hilbert s pace as a subspace.
