The optical interferometry has been widely used in various high precision applications. Usually, the minimum precision of an interferometry is limited by various technique noises in practice. To suppress such kind of noises, we propose a novel scheme, which combines the weak measurement with the standard interferometry. The proposed scheme dramatically outperforms the standard interferometry in the signal noise ratio and the robustness against noises caused by the optical elements' reflections and the offset fluctuation between two paths. A proof-of-principle experiment is demonstrated to validate the amplification theory.
