Experimental quantum tomography of a homodyne detector

We suggest and demonstrate a tomographic method to characterise homodyne detectors at the quantum level. The positive operator measure associated with the detector is expanded in a quadrature basis and probed with a set of coherent states. The coefficients of the expansion are then retrieved using a...
