Abstract

Using the formalism of the Stokes operators, a Wigner-type polarization quasi probability function and related tomography techniques, we analyze polarization properties of the XY-type biphoton light produced by a cw optical parametric oscillator. An appropriate data processing allowed to reveal experimentally the properties of hidden polarization and polarization squeezing for the parametric radiation, as well as to manifest a similarity between the calculated polarization Wigner function and that obtained via polarization tomography of the light produced.
