Local sampling of the quantum phase-space distribution of a continuous-wave optical beam
It is shown how the quantum phase-space distribution of a continuous-wave (cw) optical beam can be obtained independently at each point in phase space by a combination of unbalanced homodyne and balanced-heterodyne techniques. The unbalanced homodyning allows for the local sampling of phase space, w...
