We investigate the effect of surface plasmon (SP) resonance on Goos-Hanchen (GH) spatial and angular shifts in the reflection of a light beam by considering an attenuated total reflection structure containing a graphene layer. In particular, we find giant spatial and angular GH shifts for the p-wave light close to the plasmon resonance. The GH shifts can be controlled by adjusting the voltage applied to graphene via external gate. The giant and tunable GH shifts provide an alternative SP sensing scheme, which improves the sensitivity of SP sensors significantly.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
