Abstract

The Goos-Hachen (GH) shift at the surface of chiral negative refractive media is analyzed theoretically. GH shifts are observed for both perpendicular and parallel components of the reflected field near the respective critical angles. It is found that positive and negative shifts can be attained when the incident angle is larger than the first critical angle, whereas if the angle of incidence exceeds the second critical angle, only positive shifts can be observed. In addition, a Gaussian beam is further adopted to illustrate the effect of the GH shifts.
