Since established pulse characterization techniques are not applicable at low intensities, alternative approaches are required. Here, we demonstrate the retrieval of the complex spectral amplitude of single-photon-level light pulses through measuring their chronocyclic <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Q</jats:italic> −function. Our approach draws inspiration from quantum state tomography by exploiting the analogy between quadrature phase space and time-frequency phase space. In the experiment, we perform time-frequency projections with a quantum pulse gate (QPG), which directly yield the chronocyclic <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Q</jats:italic> −function. We evaluate the complex spectral amplitude from the measured chronocyclic <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Q</jats:italic> −function data with maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), which is the established technique for quantum state tomography. The MLE yields not only an unambigious estimate of the complex spectral amplitude of the state under test that does not require any <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">a priori</jats:italic> information, but also allows for, in principle, estimating the spectral-temporal coherence properties of the state. Our method accurately recovers features such as jumps in the spectral phase and is resistant against regions with zero spectral intensity, which makes it immediately beneficial for classical pulse characterization problems.</jats:p>","lang":"eng"}],"status":"public","type":"journal_article","publication":"Optics Express","article_number":"5551","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"_id":"63216","user_id":"27150","department":[{"_id":"15"},{"_id":"623"}]},{"user_id":"27150","department":[{"_id":"15"},{"_id":"623"}],"_id":"63217","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"article_number":"5577","type":"journal_article","publication":"Optics Express","status":"public","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"<jats:p>We demonstrate a high-dimensional mode-sorter for single photons based on a multi-output quantum pulse gate, which we can program to switch between different temporal-mode encodings including pulse modes, frequency bins, time bins, and their superpositions.
