10. An essential complication which appears in the case of multimode detection is that the detected polarization state is no longer a pure state, but is a mixed state that has to be described by a density matrix. In the case of single-mode detection considered here, the only way in which a linera medium can lead to loss of purity is by thermal fluctuations (either from the two objects or from the electromagnetic environment of the detectors). This thermal noise is insignificant at room temperature and optical frequencies.
