Abstract

The Goos–Hänchen displacement of a light beam transmitting through an indefinite metamaterial slab is studied. The results indicate that the displacement would be negative or positive for different parameters, and the necessary conditions for negative or positive displacements are summarized. Due to the special anisotropic properties, the directions of displacements for different polarization beams are opposite by proper design. In addition, the simultaneously enhanced positive and negative displacements will appear at different resonant angles under consideration of the active slab. These phenomena could have convenient applications in optical devices.
