Detecting entanglement between modes of light

We consider a subgroup of unitary transformations on a mode of light induced by a Mach-Zehnder Interferometer and an algebra of observables describing a photon-number detector preceded by the interferometer. We explore the uncertainty principles between such observables and their usefulness in performing a Bell-like experiment to show the violation of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality under the physical assumption that the detector distinguishes between only zero photons and a nonzero number of photons. We show the local settings of the interferometer which lead to a maximal violation of the CHSH inequality.
