In the solid/liquid and liquid/solid scenarios, for the cases in which the P and S reflected waves are represented by complex amplitudes, we give the closed formulas for the Goos-Haenchen phase from which we can then determine the lateral…

When a thin structure in which negative refraction occurs (a metallo-dielectric or a photonic crystal) is illuminated by a beam, the reflected and transmitted beam can undergo a large negative lateral shift. This phenomenon can be seen as…

It is reported that when a light beam travels through a slab of left-handed medium in the air, the lateral shift of the transmitted beam can be negative as well as positive. The necessary condition for the lateral shift to be positive is…

An exact analogy between wave mechanics in quantum theory and the scalar wave treatment of optics emerges from the marriage of Newtonian formulation of geometrical optics [1] and the ``formal quantum theory of light rays'' [2]. Here the…

We analyze the paraxial beam transformation upon reflection and refraction at a plane boundary. In contrast to the usual approach dealing with the beam angular spectrum, we apply the continuity conditions to explicit spatial representations…

Transverse (Hall-effect) and Goos--H\"{a}nchen shifts of light beams reflected/refracted at planar interfaces are important wave phenomena, which can be significantly modified and enhanced by the presence of intrinsic orbital angular…

We report the first observation of the Goos-H$\rm \ddot{\textbf{a}}$nchen shift of a light beam incident on a metal surface. This phenomenon is particularly interesting because the Goos-H$\rm \ddot{\textbf{a}}$nchen shift for $p$ polarized…

We describe how the notion of optical beam shifts (including the spatial and angular Goos-H\"anchen shift and Imbert-Federov shift) can be understood as a classical analogue of a quantum measurement of the polarization state of a paraxial…

Based on a Dirac-like Hamiltonian and coherent scattering formalism, we study spin-valley transport and Goos-H\"{a}nchen like (GHL) effect of transmitted and reflected electrons in a gated monolayer WS$_2$. Our results show that the lateral…

A typical application for laser interferometers is a precision measurement of length changes that result in interferometric phase shifts. Such phase changes are typically predicted numerically, due to the com- plexity of the overlap…
