We derive the polarization-dependent displacements parallel and perpendicular to the plane of incidence, for a Gaussian light beam reflected from a planar interface, taking into account the propagation of the beam. Using a classical-optics…
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 introduce the technique of Entangled-Beam Reflectometry for extracting spatially correlated (magnetic or non-magnetic) information from material surfaces or thin films. Our amplitude- and phase-sensitive technique exploits the coherent…
When a three-level atomic wavepacket is obliquely incident on a "edium slab" consisting of two far-detuned laser beams, there exists lateral shift between reflection and incident points at the surface of a "medium slab", analogous to…
The anomalous spatial shifts at interface scattering, first studied in geometric optics, recently found their counterparts in the electronic context. It was shown that both longitudinal and transverse shifts, analogous to the Goos-Hanchen…
Goos-Haenchen and Imbert-Fedorov shifts are diffractive corrections to geometrical optics that have been extensively studied for a Gaussian beam that is reflected or transmitted by a dielectric interface. Propagating in free space before…
The longitudinal and the transverse beam shifts, namely, the Goos-H\"anchen (GH) and the Spin-Hall (SH) shifts are usually observed at planar interfaces. It has recently been shown that the transverse SH shift may also arise due to…

Under the introduction of any interface in its trajectory, an optical beam experiences polarization-dependent deflections in the longitudinal and transverse directions with respect to the plane of incidence. The physics of such optical beam…
We investigate the behavior of relativistic electrons encountering a potential step through analogies with optical phenomena. By accounting for the conservation of Dirac current, we elucidate that the Goos-H\"anchen shift can be understood…
We investigate the Goos-H\"{a}nchen (GH) shifts of partially coherent fields (PCFs) by using the theory of coherence. We derive a formal expression for the GH shifts of PCFs in terms of Mercer's expansion, and then clearly demonstrate the…
Applying Artmann's formula to the TE-polarized incident waves, we theoretically show that the Goos-H\"{a}nchen (GH) shifts near the angle of the pseudo-Brewster dip of the reflection from a slab of chiral metamaterial can be greatly…
We study the giant Goos-Hanchen shift obtained from an Airy beam impinging on a nonlinear interface. To avoid any angular restriction associated with the paraxial approximation, the analysis is based on the numerical solution of the…
Goos-Hanchen (GH) and Imbert-Fedorov (IF) shifts are lateral and transverse displacements of a wavepacket reflecting off a surface. A dramatic real-space manifestation of wavepacket phases, they have traditionally been analyzed in a model…
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…

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…
For optical beams, transmitted by a right angle prism, the Goos-Haenchen shift can never be seen as a pure effect. Indeed, the lateral displacement, caused by the total internal reflection, will always be accompanied by angular deviations…
We consider a matter wave packet of cold atom gas impinging upon a step potential created by the optical light field. In the presence of spin-orbit (SO) coupling, the atomic eigenstates contain two types of evanescent states, one of which…
We consider reflection and transmission of 2D quantum wavepackets with phase vortices (also known in optics as spatiotemporal vortex pulses) at potential step-like, delta-function, and rectangular barriers. The presence of a vortex…
