Abstract
Lossless beam splitter has been studied by the exact diagonalization o f the homodyne photocurrent. The probability of totally symmetric and totally antisymmetric output from a balanced beam splitter fed by arbi trary number states has been evaluated. Efficiency of photon mixing to synthesize highly excited number states has been also discussed.
