Abstract
The problem of a reconstruction of relative phases in the one-mode pho ton wavefunction from a given photon number distribution and the modul us of the wavefunction in the phase representation is solved for the c ase of a finite superposition of Fock states. The solution involves tw o independent numerical algorithms, both based on a Fourier transform from the occupation number representation to the phase domain.
