In this letter, we propose an experimental scheme of universal unambiguous discrimination with only linear optical elements and the coincidence measurements. In addition, a modified scheme is presented to increase the success probability with ancillary photons. This scheme is feasible by current experimental technology and may be used in quantum cryptography.
