We show in which conditions optical gaussian beams, propagating throughout an homogeneous dielectric right angle prism, present an asymmetric Goos-H\"anchen (GH) effect. This asymmetric behavior is seen for incidence at critical angles and…

Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) beams reflected from a multi-layered dielectric experience a shift in their centroid that is different than that from a single interface. This has been previously investigated for linearly polarized beams and, to a…

By considering an optically denser medium with a flat surface, but with natural roughness instead of abstract geometrical boundary which leads to mathematical discontinuity on the boundary of two adjacent stratified media, we have thus…

We investigate theoretically the Goos-H\"anchen (GH) shift of a p-polarized terahertz beam incident on a 2D material surface with complex conductivity. Taking monolayer graphene to be the model material, we determine the dependence of GH…

We have investigated that the Goos-H\"anchen (GH) shifts in frustrated total internal reflection (FTIR) studied with wave packet propagation. In the first-order approximation of the transmission coefficient, the GH shift is exactly the…

Imbert-Fedorov (IF) shift, which refers to a tiny transverse splitting induced by spin-orbit interaction at a reflection/refraction interface, is sensitive to the refractive index of a medium and momentum state of incident light. Most of…

In this work, I present a full analytical theory for the Goos-H\"anchen and Imbert-Fedorov shifts experienced by an Airy beam impinging on a dielectric surface. In particular, I will show how the decay parameter $\alpha$ associated with…

We study experimentally the Goos-Hanchen effect observed at the reflection of a self-collimated beam from the surface of a two-dimensional photonic crystal and describe a method for controlling the beam reflection through surface…

We consider the propagation of a matter wavepacket of two-level atoms through a square potential created by a super-Gaussian laser beam. We explore the matter wave analog of Goos-H\"{a}nchen shift within the framework of atom optics where…
