Enhanced superprism effect based on positive/negative lateral shift of reflective beam in a Fabry-Perot filter

It is found that when a light beam is incident obliquely on a thin film Fabry-Perot filter (FPF) from different incident media (air or substrate), the reflective beam will be shifted in both the forward and the backward directions. Based on this inverted spatial dispersion effect, two thin film FPFs with different directional lateral shifts are assembled to get a thin film superprism with a wider dispersion band. The thin film samples are fabricated as well as tested, and the results are in approximate agreement with numerical simulation.

An angle-resolved laser incident beam detector based on a pair ofFabry-Perot etalons

An angle-resolved laser detector based on a pair of a non-mechanical scanning Fabry-Perot cavities is described. The differential signal from the two cavities is approximately independent from the polarization of the incident laser beam and it is used to determine the angle of incidence of the beam on the Fabry-Perot cavities. The F-P etalon is made of interferometric filter combination. A laser incident angle sensor experimental platform is built up, and the experiment is carried out with a given laser range finder. When the incident angle is less than 5°, the transmission difference measured by the laser angle sensor is significantly lower than theoretical value, and deviation is more than 10%. When the incident angle is greater than 10°, the deviation is much lower than that of the situation of the incident angle is lower than 10°.     

Giant positive and negative lateral shifts from the Kretschmann-Raether configuration with a weakly absorbing left-handed slab

The lateral shift of a TE-polarized beam reflected from the Kretschmann-Raether structure with a weakly absorbing left-handed slab is studied theoretically. It is shown that the lateral shift can be very large negative as well as positive near the resonant condition. These large negative and positive shifts can be one order of magnitude much larger than the shift from the corresponding nonabsorbing slab. As the absorption factor increases, the incident angle of producing largest lateral shift increases when the thickness is kept unchanged but the thickness of the slab of producing largest lateral shift decreases when the incident angle is kept unchanged.

Lateral displacement of a Gaussian beam reflected from absorbing media

Lateral displacements of well-focused beams reflected from absorbing media are demonstrated in this paper. The incident beam is modeled as a tapered wave with a Gaussian spectrum. The field solutions are obtained on both sides of the interface by solving analytically from Maxwell's equations and by matching the boundary conditions at the interface. Numerical simulations are presented and the field values as well as the time-averaged power densities are computed. The influences of the polarization, the angle of incidence and the beam width on the displacement are discussed. The origin of the displacement lies in the absorption of the media, for which there is a phase shift between the incident and reflected waves. Because of this phase shift, the center of the reflected beam does not coincide with that of the incident one, similar to the Goos-Hänchen shift.     

任意偏振态光束全反射时的侧向和横向位移

光束在电介质界面发生全反射时,实际反射光束会在入射面内相对于几何反射光束产生一侧向位移,在垂直于入射面的方向产生一横向位移。利用改进的能流法研究了任意偏振态光束发生全反射时的侧向和横向位移特性。研究表明,侧向位移的大小与入射光束的两组成部分———TE和TM偏振光的相位差无关,而与两组分的光强比密切相关,且该位移可以表示为TE和TM偏振光束各自的位移按光强的加权平均。横向位移的大小不仅与入射光束两组分的光强比相关,还与组分的相位差密切相关。另外,反射光束不仅在椭圆偏振态入射的情况下会产生横向位移,而且在TE和TM偏振态之外的其他线偏振态入射时,也会产生横向位移。     

Reflected image of a strongly focused spot

We describe the reflection of a strongly focused beam from an interface between two dielectric media. If the beam is incident from the optically denser medium, the image generated by the reflected light is strongly aberrated. This situation is encountered in high-resolution confocal microscopy and data sampling based on solid immersion lenses and oil immersion objectives. The origin of the observed aberrations lies in the nature of total internal reflection, for which there is a phase shift between incident and reflected waves. This phase shift displaces the apparent reflection point beyond the interface, similarly to the Goos-H?nchen shift.     

Demonstration of a recombined Fabry-Perot-Michelson interferometer with suspended mirrors

We describe preliminary experimental results concerning the operation of a 3 m arm-length Michelson interferometer with two Fabry-Perot cavities whose mirrors and beam splitter are suspended independently by wires. The reflected light beams from the two Fabry-Perot cavities are recombined to obtain interference at a photo-detector; this scheme is necessary for future power-recycled laser interferometers used to detect gravitational waves. The fundamental properties of the interferometer are presented, including the power spectral density of the displacement noise.     

Positively and negatively large Goos–Hänchen lateral displacements from a symmetric gyrotropic slab

A detailed study on the lateral displacements of a transverse magnetic (TM) wave transmitted and reflected from a symmetric gyrotropic slab is presented. We give the analytic formulas for the transmission coefficient and the reflection coefficient, as well as the corresponding lateral displacements. It is found that due to the external magnetic field the displacement of a transmitted beam is different from that of reflected one, even for a lossless symmetric configuration. Furthermore, within the chosen frequency band, when the incident angle is near the Brewster angle, the shift of a reflected wave can be large with nonzero reflectance, and can be positive or negative depending on the direction of the applied magnetic field and the incident wave.     

Spin Hall effect of light in metallic reflection

We report the first measurement of the spin Hall effect of light (SHEL) on an air-metal interface. The SHEL is a polarization-dependent out-of-plane shift on the reflected beam. For the case of metallic reflection with a linearly polarized incident light, both the spatial and angular variants of the shift are observed and are maximum for -45°/45° polarization, but zero for pure s and p polarization. For an incoming beam with circular polarization states however, only the spatial out-of-plane shift is present.     

Unified theory of total reflection phenomena at a dielectric interface

By utilizing a rigorous plane-wave representation, we investigate the basic wave mechanism that is responsible for both the lateral (Goos-H?nchen) shift of a gaussian light beam incident from a denser medium upon the interface to a rarer medium, and the weak radiance that accompanies the reflected beam. We thus find that the complete reflected field contains a geometric-optics component, whose domain is given by the mirror reflection of the incident beam, as well as a lateral-wave component which occupies a much larger domain. Our results show that the near field of the lateral-wave component interferes with the geometric-optics component and thereby produces the Goos-H?nchen shift of the reflected beam. The intermediate and far fields of the lateral-wave, on the other hand, are responsible for the weak radiance that trails the reflected beam. By demonstrating that both the beam shift and the trailing radiance represent two facets of the same wave process, the lateral-wave field is shown to provide a unified interpretation of two effects that have previously been regarded as separate phenomena. The dependence of these effects on beam width, angle of incidence, and polarization are also considered. Portions of this paper were presented orally at the Fall 1971 Meeting of the Optical Society of America, Ottawa, Canada; October 1971.     

Transformation and shift of a Gaussian light beam upon reflection from a resonant medium

The specific features of the transformation and shift of a Gaussian beam reflected from a resonant absorbing medium are analyzed numerically. The study is based on the expansion of the field of the incident Gaussian beam into plane-wave components by using the Fourier integral transform. The calculations are performed for a frequency range covering the resonance region. The conditions for the splitting of the profile of the reflected beam and for its negative shift are established.     

Bistable and negative lateral shifts of the reflected light beam from Kretschmann configuration with nonlinear left-handed metamaterials

We study the bistable and negative lateral shifts of the reflected light beam from Kretschmann configuration containing left-handed metamaterials with self-focusing and self-defocusing Kerr-type nonlinearity. It is shown that the lateral shifts can be large and negative when the thickness of the middle metal film is smaller than the critical value. Taking the nonlinear effect into account, there exists a hysteretic response between the beam shift and the intensity of the incident light beam. These results suggest that the bistable and negative beam shifts can be modulated by nonlinear coefficients and intensity of incident beam, which might be used in integrated photonics and optical switches.     

Implications of spectral hole burning on the manipulation of spatial Goos–Hänchen shift in an atomic cell

We present a new scheme to report on Goos–Hänchen (GH) shift experienced by the Gaussian light beam interacting with an optical cavity filled with four-level sodium atomic medium in the spectral hole burning region with and without Doppler broadening effect. Theoretical atomic density-matrix formalism is employed to obtain the susceptibility of atomic medium while the stationary-phase-theory is used to compute the GH shift in the reflected and transmitted probe beams subjected to control fields. A steep normal slope of dispersion is observed with a maximum and zero probability of transmission and reflection coefficients, respectively, at the regions of the spectral holes burning. In the normal dispersion spectrum at the region of spectral hole burning, positive and negative GH shift is observed, respectively, in the transmitted and reflected light beams. However, at anomalous dispersive regions negative GH shift in the transmission beam and positive GH shift in the reflection beam is observed. The reflection and transmission coefficients as well as the spatial GH shift are the functions of probe detuning, collective phase of control fields, beam incident angle and inverse Doppler broadening effect in the spectral hole burning region. The position and number of spectral holes also depend on the same spectral parametrs as stated above. The study is expected to be useful for optoelectronic devices and optical-clocking applications.     

Fabry-Perot interferometer with diffraction-scattered reflection of light

The incorporation of a phase grating into the optical system of a Fabry-Perot interferometer makes it possible to transform the incident beam of light so that the major part of energy in the reflected wave is contained in the side lobes in the far-field diffraction pattern and radiation in the zero order of diffraction along the optical axis is suppressed. Experimental results are presented, which are obtained with a grating produced by evaporating a thin-layer dielectric coating onto the input mirror of the interferometer.     

Transformation of a Gaussian light beam reflected in the vicinity of the Brewster angle

Variations in the profile and shift of a Gaussian light beam upon reflection from a plane interface between a transparent dielectric and a medium with a complex refractive index are studied. The beam is assumed to be incident at angles close to the Brewster’s angle, where the effects of transformation of the beam profile are most substantial. Based on numerical analysis, the reflected beam profiles are obtained for different properties of the media, parameters of the incident beam, and positions of the plane of observation.
