Abstract

We propose a method for finding two-dimensional spatial modes of thermal field through a direct measurement of the field intensity and an offline analysis of its spatial fluctuations. Using this method, in a simple and efficient way we reconstruct the modes of a multimode fiber and the spatial Schmidt modes of squeezed vacuum generated via high-gain parametric down-conversion. The reconstructed shapes agree with the theoretical results.
