We investigate the effect of a surface plasmon resonance on Goos-Hanchen and Imbert-Fedorov spatial and angular shifts in the reflection of a light beam by considering a three-layer system made of glass, gold and air. We calculate these spatial and angular shifts as a function of the incidence angle showing that they are strongly enhanced in correspondence of the resonant angle. In particular, we find giant spatial and angular Goos-Hanchen shits for the p-wave light close to the plasmon resonance. We also predict a similar, but less pronounced, resonant effect on spatial and angular Imbert-Fedorov shifts for both s-wave and p-wave light.PACS numbers: 42.25. Hz, 78.20.Bh It is now established [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] that there are four shifts that can happen when light is reflected. These are the two longitudinal shifts (spatial and angular GH shifts) and the two transverse shifts (spatial and angular IF shifts). Recently, the predicted GH spatial shift [8] of a light beam on a metallic mirror has been measured [9], showing a good agreement with the theory. Moreover, giant GH spatial shifts have been observed [10] with a three-layer system in the Kretschmann-Raether configuration at the metal-air interface when the surface plasmon resonance of the metal is excited. Finally, the detection of both GH and IF spatial shifts has been reported [11] for a light beam on a three-layer system totally reflected on the external interface of a dielectric thin film deposited on a high-index substrate.Motivated by these experimental achievements in this paper we analyze theoretically the effect of a surface plasmon resonance not only on GH and IF spatial shifts but also on GH and IF angular shifts. In particular, we investigate the three-layer system glass-gold-air in the Kretschmann-Raether configuration [12,13]. To calculate spatial and angular shifts we use the recently established theory [14], which shows that both spatial and angular GH and IF shifts can be derived in terms of the complex reflection coefficient. We consider the three-layer system glass-gold-air. This is the familiar Kretschmann-Raether configuration [12]: the light beam comes from the prism of glass and reflects with incident angle θ at the interface with air, where there is a thin film of gold with thickness d. In our anaysis the prism of glass has relative permittivity ǫ 0 = 2.19; the thin film of gold has complex relative permittivity: ǫ 1 = −29.02 + 2.03i for a wavelength λ = 830 nm [9]; the air has relative permittivity ǫ 2 = 1.The s-wave and p-wave reflection coefficients r s and r p of this three-layer system can be written in terms of generalized Fresnell equations [12] r s = r 01 s + r 12 s e 2iδ 1 + r 01 s r 12 s e 2iδ ,whereare the reflection coefficient at the 01 and 12 interfaces, andare the z components of the wavevectors of the light. Notice that k z1 gives the ratio between the complex phase parameter δ which appears in Eqs. (1) and (2) and the thickness d of the gold film.It is important to stress that, in general, both s-wave and p-wave ...
