It is known that the cross-correlation function (CCF) of a partially coherent vortex (PCV) beam shows a robust link with the radial and azimuthal mode indices. However, the previous proposals are difficult to measure the CCF in practical…

The entanglement of general pure Gaussian two-mode states is examined in terms of the coefficients of the quadrature components of the wavefunction. The entanglement criterion and the entanglement of formation are directly evaluated as a…
Using two specific models and a model-independent formalism, we show that in addition to the usual quadratic ``side'', ``out'' and ``longitudinal'' terms, a previously neglected ``out-longitudinal'' cross term arises naturally in the…
