State [Formula: see text] and state [Formula: see text] are same to state [Formula: see text], which is called as multi-photon-addition amplified coherent state (MPAACS) by us. Here, [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] are photon number operator, creation operator, coherent state, gain factor, and an integer, respectively. We study mathematical and physical properties for these MPAACSs, including normalization, photon component analysis, Wigner function, effective gain, quadrature squeezing, and equivalent input noise. Actually, the MPAACS, which contains more nonclassicality, is an amplified version of photon-added coherent state (PACS) introduced by Agarwal and Tara [Phys. Rev. A 43, 492 (1991)]. Our work provides theoretical references for implementing amplifiers for light fields.
