We address the reconstruction of the full photon distribution of multimode fields generated by seeded parametric down-conversion.

Abstract
We address the reconstruction of the full photon distribution of multimode fields generated by seeded parametric down-conversion. Our scheme is based on on/off avalanche photodetection assisted by maximum-likelihood (MaxLik) estimation and does not involve photon counting. We present a novel constrained MaxLik method that incorporates the request of finite energy to improve the rate of convergence and, in turn, the overall accuracy of the reconstruction.
