Abstract
We propose a tomography scheme capable of reconstructing the quantum state of an unknown mode of light. The complex mode structure of the investigated field is expressed by a single number—the mismatch between the probe and signal. This parameter is estimated as a part of the quantum tomography protocol. This opens up ways for reconstructions utilizing interference between independent sources.
