An experimental study of beam shifts occurring in partial reflection from a planar dielectric interface is presented. A novel Goos-Hänchen-like shift in the regime below total reflection has been found depending on polarization, angle of incidence, and beam width. The shift is accompanied by an angular shift. The results match theoretical predictions based on the theory of moments of light beams.
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.
