contents Detection of entanglement in quantum states is one of the most important problems in quantum information processing. However, it is one of the most challenging tasks to find a universal scheme which is also desired to be optimal to detect entanglement for all states of a specific class--as always preferred by experimentalists. Although, the topic is well studied at least in case of lower dimensional compound systems, e.g., two-qubit systems, but in the case of continuous variable systems, this remains as an open problem. Even in the case of two-mode Gaussian states, the problem is not fully solved. In our work, we have tried to address this issue. At first, a limited number of Hermitian operators is given to test the necessary and sufficient criterion on the covariance matrix of separable two-mode Gaussian states. Thereafter, we present an interferometric scheme to test the same separability criterion in which the measurements are being done via Stokes-like operators. In such case, we consider only single-copy measurements on a two-mode Gaussian state at a time and the scheme amounts to the full state tomography. We further analyze the robustness of the proposed detection method against experimentally relevant imperfections and demonstrate that the separability test remains reliable under moderate levels of detection inefficiency. Although this latter approach is a linear optics-based one, nevertheless it is not an economic scheme. Resource-wise a more economical scheme than the full state tomography is obtained if we consider measurements on two copies of the state at a time. However, optimality of the scheme is not yet known.
