Controlling the Goos-H\"anchen and Imbert-Fedorov shifts via pump and driving field

POSTER

Abstract

We consider a three-level atomic medium and discuss how to control the Goos-H\"anchen and Imbert-Fedorov shifts for a circular polarized Gaussian beam via pump and coherent driving field applied to the atomic medium. The susceptibility of the atomic medium can be adjusted by changing the driving field and pump. Consequently, for a fixed driving field, by turning on and off the pump the amplitude and the direction of the lateral and transverse shifts of such beam can be changed. We adopt stationary phase and beam simulation methods to derive our results.
