“…This shift, which is probably one of the clearest manifestations of the evanescent nature of light, represents an additional contribution to the geometrical optical path predicted by the Snell law [13,14]. This quantum effect is still subject of careful and broad investigation and continues to stimulate new discussions [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Of particular interest tothe study presented in this paper, it is the GH shift frequency crossover [23].…”

Abstract. The interference between optical beams of different polarizations plays a fundamental role in reproducing the optical analog of the electron spin weak measurement. The extraordinary point in optical weak measurements is represented by the possibility to estimate with great accuracy the Goos-Hänchen (GH) shift by measuring the distance between the peak of the outgoing beams for two opposite rotation angles of the polarizers located before and after the dielectric block. Starting from the numerical calculation of the GH shift, which clearly shows a frequency crossover for incidence near to the critical angle, we present a detailed study of the interference between s and p polarized waves in the critical region. This allows to determine in which conditions it is possible to avoid axial deformations and reproduce the GH curves. In view of a possible experimental implementation, we give the expected weak measurement curves for gaussian lasers of different beam waist sizes propagating through borosilicate (BK7) and fused silica dielectric blocks.

“…As is shown in Figure 1, three different coordinate systems, the same as those in the literature [4,28], will be employed, i.e. the interface coordinates (x, z), the incident-beam coordinates (x i , z i ) and the mirrorreflected coordinates (x r , z r ), and @=@y ¼ 0 is assumed.…”

“…For simplicity, the beam is considered to have a sufficiently large beam waist (or a very narrow angular spectrum), which ensures that the reflected beam retains the same shape but undergoes a GH shift. By following the derivation in the literature [28], the spectrum of the reflected pulsed beam in the mirror-reflected coordinates is given as…”

“…But these investigations were focused on the case of monochromatic light beam incidence, without discussions about the GH shift in terms of incident light pulses. Recently, we [27,28] have investigated the effect of GH shift on TIR of a pulsed light beam illuminating the interface of optical glass and vacuum, where GH shift is always positive, and some interesting results have been obtained. In fact, the TIR of a pulsed beam from vacuum upon metal is more interesting because a majority of reflective mirrors are based on this reflection.…”

Total internal reflection (TIR) of a pulsed light beam from vacuum incident upon an ideal non-absorbing plasma was investigated theoretically using the Fourier transform method. Because of the Goos-Ha¨nchen effect, the reflected pulsed beam undergoes distortions such as carrier frequency shift and chirp. The distortions are magnified on condition that the pulsed beam is TM-polarized and illuminates the interface at large angle of incidence, which should be avoided for reflection of pulsed beam upon optical mirrors with metal film. Meanwhile, it is shown that the Goos-Ha¨nchen shift and time delay of this TIR can be both positive and negative, which is consistent with the results obtained from stationary phase theory.
