Quantum state reconstruction is an important tool to verify the properties of various quantum states [1]. We present an exact reconstruction formula of the polarization sector of the density matrix, starting from a complete set of Stokes parameters measurements. By using the Q-function as an appropriate quasidistribution and in the case of intense polarization states we show that the reconstruction reduces to an inverse Radon transform. We reconstructed the Q-function of an intense polarization squeezed state, generated by fs-pulses in an optical fiber exploiting the nonlinear Kerr effect [2].
