Abstract
The reconstruction of the complete quantum state of a pure-state two-m ode field is shown to be possible by the photon-chopping method, that is, by spreading the signal with balanced multiports over an array of detectors and by measuring coincidences. In particular, correlations b etween the two modes can be detected with high efficiency.
