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. It is shown that in the absence of coherent control fields and just by quantum interference of spontaneous emission, the behavior of GH shift can be controlled.
