Abstract
The problem of Pegg-Barnett's phase operator remains actual. We show that t he physically absurd state obtained in our recent paper [Yu.I. Vorontsov, Y u.A. Rembovsky, Phys. Lett. A 254 (1999) 7] results from the phase formalis m itself and not from an 'unphysical choice of approximate phase measuremen t'. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
