Abstract

We overview recent progress in the tomography of structured light fields, with an emphasis on the method of direct measurement. Direct measurement provides a scalable and easy- to-implement approach for characterizing the transverse structure of single photons. This protocol is particularly attractive in light of the emerging role of high-dimensional optical states as a resource for encoding quantum information. We present a summary of various implementations of this technique that aim to characterize the spatial degree of freedom of the optical field.
