Implications of Compton scattering and inverse Doppler effect on the manipulation of Goos–Hänchen shifts

Abstract

This paper reports the effects of Compton scattering and inverse Doppler broadening on the manipulation of linear Goos–Hänchen (GH) Shifts in reflection/transmission beams. The inverse Doppler broadening, Compton scattering and the incident angle significantly effect the linear GH-shift in transmission/reflection beams. The reflection, transmission and absorption coefficients are normalized (|R|+|T|+|A|=1) under the combined effect of Compton scattering and inverse Doppler broadening at every point. The positive and negative GH-shifts are measured in different scattering zones. The GH-shift in reflection/transmission splits into doublet with the increase in intensity of control fields. The GH-shift in reflection beam is positive and negative in the transmission beam. The GH-shift enhances under the inverse Doppler broadening effect. Linear GH-shift of ±5λ is noted in the transmission and reflection beams. This work will have potential applications in the development of sensitive laser interferometers (for detection of gravitational waves) and atomic microscopy.
