On the reduction of a contraction semigroup to a completely non unitary semigroup

According to a Theorem of B. Sz.-Nagy and C. Foia?, every strongly continuous semigroup of contraction operators on a Hilbert space, can be decomposed into a completely non unitary part and a unitary part. In this note we wish to show that by appropriately perturbing its generator, a contraction semigroup can be reduced to a completely non unitary one. In control theory, such a perturbation is related to the so called state feedback, and the reduction presented here has application in the problem of stabilizing linear control systems on a Hilbert space. This will be briefly discussed.
