Abstract

The essence and basic structural elements of the method of polarization tomography of quantum radiation (the reconstruction of the polarization states of a field solely from polarization measurements) are described. The essential features of the method are discussed in comparison with usual field and spin tomographies. A general scheme for experimentally implementing this method is suggested and its use in polarization tomography of biphotonic radiation with hidden polarization is briefly analyzed.
