Abstract

Reflection of a Gaussian beam by a thin inverse-medium film is considered. The profile of the beam’s field transformed upon reflection is analyzed with the use of the representation of the field as a Fourier integral over plane-wave components. It is shown that the complex deformation of the field profile is due to two main factors: the Goos-Hanchen longitudinal shift on the upper medium interface and the shift that is due to the presence of the film/substrate interface and is oriented along the direction of the beam incidence.
