By exploiting the decoherent effect of Gaussian noise channel, we formulate a simple approach to quantifying optical nonclassicality of an optical state in terms of Wick-ordered characteristic function. We present a family of quantifiers of single-mode bosonic nonclassicality, which have many desirable properties. We further illustrate the quantifiers by several typical states. Our approach can also be generalized to the multi-mode cases.
