Goos-Haenchen lateral displacements and angular deviations: When these optical effects offset each other

Stefano De Leo, Luca Maggio, Moreno D'Ambrosio

For optical beams, transmitted by a right angle prism, the Goos-Haenchen shift can never be seen as a pure effect. Indeed, the lateral displacement, caused by the total internal re…

From the delay time in Quantum Mechanics to the Goos-Hänchen shift in Optics

Stefano De Leo, Leonardo Solidoro

Delay times in quantum mechanics always represented an intriguing challenge for physicists. Due to the fact that quantum mechanical experiments are, often, hard to be implemented,…

Angular deviations: From a cubic equation to a universal closed formula to determine the peak position of reflected and (upper) transmitted beams

Stefano De Leo, Alessia Stefano

Angular deviations and lateral displacements are optical effects widely investigated in literature. In this paper, by using the Taylor expansion of the Fresnel coefficients, we obt…

A modelling study across the Italian regions: Lockdown, testing strategy, colored zones, and skew-normal distributions. How a numerical index of pandemic criticality could be useful in tackling the CoViD-19

Stefano De Leo, Manoel P. Araujo

As Europe is facing the second wave of the CoViD-19 pandemic, each country should carefully review how it dealt with the first wave of outbreak. Lessons from the first experience s…

The effect of the geometrical optical phase on the propagation of Hermite-Gaussian beams through transversal and parallel dielectric blocks

Silvania A. Carvalho, Stefano De Leo

When an optical beam propagates through dielectric blocks, its optical phase is responsible for the path of the beam. In particular, the first order Taylor expansion of the geometr…

Transversal symmetry breaking and axial spreading modification for Gaussian optical beams

Manoel Araujo, Stefano De Leo, Marina Lima

For a long time it was believed there was no reason to include the geometrical phase in studying the propagation of gaussian optical beams through dielectric blocks. This can be ju…
