Noiseless linear amplification(NLA),first proposed by Ralpha et al,is a nondeterministic amplification process which gives gain to the Fock state |n> → g~n|n>,with g being the amplification gain.We here give a general framework for improving the NLA scheme with arbitrary general local unitary operations.We derive the improvement in the amplification gain in 0-1 photon subspace.In particular,we study if the local unitary is composed of single mode squeezing and coherent displacement operation.Finally,numerical simulations show that local unitary operation could give a further enhancement in the amplification gain as well as the success probability,making the NLA more feasible in future optic quantum communications.
