Large and negative Goos–Hänchen shift near the Brewster dip on reflection from weakly absorbing media

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Applying Artmann’s formula to a light beam in the TM state of wave polarization, we show analytically the existence of a large and negative Goos–Hänchen shift near the angle of the Brewster dip on reflection from a weakly absorbing semi-infinite medium. The shift is opposite that in the case of total internal reflection, and it can be an order of magnitude larger than a wavelength if the absorption of the reflecting medium is sufficiently weak. Examples are given, and the detectibility of the shift is discussed.
