Spatial Goos-Hänchen and Imbert-Fedorov shifts of rotational 2-D finite energy Airy beams

Abstract

Expressions of Goos-Hänchen and Imbert-Fedorov shifts of rotational 2-D finite energy Airy beams are introduced in this paper. The influences of the second-order terms of the reflection coefficient on the spatial Goos-Hänchen shift (GHS) and spatial Imbert-Fedorov shift (IFS) of rotational 2-D finite energy Airy beams are theoretically and numerically investigated at the surface between air and weakly absorbing medium for the first time. It is found that the axial symmetry of the initial field of beams has huge influences on GHS and IFS and both of the GHS and IFS can be controlled by adjusting the rotation angle of the initial field distribution.
