  The single-photon-added coherent state (SPACS), as an intermediate
classical-to-purely-quantum state, was first realized recently by Zavatta
\emph{$et al.$} (Science 306, 660 (2004)). We show here that the success
probability of their SPACS generation can be enhanced by a simple method which
leads to simultaneous creations of a discrete-variable entangled state and a
SPACS or even a hybrid-variable entangled SPACS in two different channels. The
impacts of the input thermal noise are also analyzed.
