Abstract

The behavior of the Goos-Hänchen (GH) shifts of a probe beam reflected from or transmitted through a cavity with a fixed geometrical configuration is theoretically investigated. The effect of quantum interference induced by incoherent pump and spontaneous emission upon the control of GH shifts is then discussed. In addition, the effect of the rate of an incoherent pump field and the intensity of coupling field on the behavior of GH shifts are presented.
