Abstract
In this work, we summarize the current state of understanding of lateral displacement and angular deviations of an optical beam propagating through dielectric blocks. In part I, the analytical formulas, found for critical incidence, are compared with numerical calculations and, when possible, extended from Gaussian to more general angular distributions. Angular deviations are discussed both for the critical and for the Brewster incidence. The combined effect, known as the composite Goos-Haenchen shift, shows an interesting axial dependence and, under particular circumstances, the intriguing phenomenon of the light oscillation. In part II, the weak measurement technique is discussed in detail and compared with direct optical measurements.
