Giant Goos-Hanchen effect at the reflection from left-handed metamaterials

Optics 2007-05-23 v1 Materials Science

Abstract

We study the beam reflection from a layered structure with a left-handed metamaterial. We predict a giant lateral (Goos-Hanchen) shift and splitting of the beam due to the resonant excitation of surface polaritons with a vortex-like energy flow between the right- and left-handed materials.
