Goos-Hänchen Shifts of Partially Coherent Light Fields
arXiv:1307.6256 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.111.223901
Abstract
We investigate the Goos-Hänchen (GH) shifts of partially coherent fields (PCFs) by using the theory of coherence. We derive a formal expression for the GH shifts of PCFs in terms of Mercer's expansion, and then clearly demonstrate the dependence of the GH shift of each mode of PCFs on spatial coherence and beam width. We discuss the effect of spatial coherence on the resultant GH shifts, especially for the cases near the critical angles, such as totally reflection angle.
