  An improved version of the ``optical bar'' intracavity readout scheme for
gravitational-wave antennae is considered. We propose to call this scheme
``optical lever'' because it can provide significant gain in the signal
displacement of the local mirror similar to the gain which can be obtained
using ordinary mechanical lever with unequal arms. In this scheme displacement
of the local mirror can be close to the signal displacement of the end mirrors
of hypothetical gravitational-wave antenna with arm lengths equal to the
half-wavelength of the gravitational wave.
