| contents | We propose a postselected amplification (PSA) scheme for phase shift measurement of optical coherent states when passing through the Mach-Zehnder-interferometer (MZI). Different from the usual weak-value-amplification (WVA) formulation, the which-path states of the MZI ($\left| 1 \right\rangle $ and $\left| 2 \right\rangle $) cannot be described as sub-system states entangled with the optical coherent states ($\left| 1 \right\rangle $ and $\left| 2 \right\rangle $) separated by the beam-splitter. However, we obtain the same result of the usual WVA in the Aharonov-Albert-Vaidman (AAV) limit, but beyond this limit, the result is different, e.g., the photon-number scaling can be different. We explicitly carry out the amplified phase shift, which is extracted out from the field-quadrature measurement in the dark port of the MZI. We also evaluate the performance quality of the proposed scheme, and analyze the technical advantages by considering possible errors in the quadrature measurement. |
