The Goos-Hanchen effect of light reflected from sandwich (three-layered) structures composed of a superconducting YBa2Cu3O7 film and two different dielectric films is investigated theoretically. It has been shown that optical anisotropy of YBa2Cu3O7 film, as well as its positions in the three-layer specimen, strongly effects on the lateral shift values. We have shown that, for all positions of the superconducting film in the three-layered structure, variation of temperature makes possible to control the values of the lateral shift of TE-polarized light at the incidence angles close to pseudo-Brewster angles, whereas for TM-polarized light the lateral shift is only significant at grazing incidence.
We report the observation of the Goos-Hanchen effect in graphene via a weak value amplification scheme. We demonstrate that the amplified Goos-Hanchen shift in weak measurements is sensitive to the variation of graphene layers. Combining the Goos-Hanchen effect with weak measurements may provide important applications in characterizing the parameters of graphene.
We present a proposal to manipulate the Goos-Hanchen shift of a light beam via a coherent control field, which is injected into a cavity configuration containing the two-level atomic medium. It is found that the lateral shifts of the reflected and transmitted probe beams can be easily controlled by adjusting the intensity and detuning of the control field. Using this scheme, the lateral shift at the fixed incident angle can be enhanced (positive or negative) under the suitable conditions on the control field, without changing the structure of the cavity.
Metasurface-mediated bound states in the continuum (BIC) provides a versatile platform for light manipulation at subwavelength dimension with diverging radiative quality factor and extreme optical localization. In this work, we employ magnetic dipole quasi-BIC resonance in asymmetric silicon nanobar metasurfaces to realize giant Goos-Hanchen (GH) shift enhancement by more than three orders of wavelength. In sharp contrast to GH shift based on the Brewster dip or transmission-type resonance, the maximum GH shift here is located at the reflection peak with unity reflectance, which can be conveniently detected in the experiment. By adjusting the asymmetric parameter of metasurfaces, the $Q$-factor and GH shift can be modulated accordingly. More interestingly, it is found that GH shift exhibits an inverse quadratic dependence on the asymmetric parameter. Furthermore, we design an ultrasensitive environmental refractive index sensor based on the quasi-BIC enhanced GH shift, with a maximum sensitivity of 1.5$times$10$^{7}$ $mu$m/RIU. Our work not only reveals the essential role of BIC in engineering the basic optical phenomena, but also suggests the way for pushing the performance limits of optical communication devices, information storage, wavelength division de/multiplexers, and ultrasensitive sensors.
We demonstrate, for the first time, a scheme that generates radially-polarized light using Goos-Hanchen shift of a cylindrically symmetric Total Internal Reflection. It allows ultra-broadband radial polarization conversion for wavelengths differing >1 micron.
Spin waves are promising information carriers which can be used in modern magnonic devices, characterized by higher performance and lower energy consumption than presently used electronic circuits. However, before practical application of spin waves, the efficient control over spin wave amplitude and phase needs to be developed. We analyze analytically reflection and refraction of the spin waves at the interface between two ferromagnetic materials. In the model we consider the system consisting of two semi-infinite ferromagnetic media, separated by the ultra-narrow interface region with the magnetic anisotropy. We have found the Goos-Hanchen shift for spin waves in transmission and reflection, and performed detailed investigations of its dependence on the anisotropy at the interface and materials surrounding the interface. We have demonstrated possibility of obtaining Goos-Hanchen shift of several wavelengths in reflection for realistic material parameters. That proves the possibility for change of the spin waves phase in ferromagnetic materials at subwavelength distances, which can be regarded as a metasurface for magnonics.
