We put forward a method that allows the experimental determination of the entire spatial mode
spectrum of any arbitrary monochromatic wave field in a plane normal to its propagation direction.
For coherent optical fields, our spatial spectrum analyzer can be implemented with a small number
of benchmark refractive elements embedded in a single Mach-Zender interferometer. We detail an
