Goos-Hänchen and Imbert-Fedorov shifts of off-axis Airy vortex beams
Abstract:
Based on the angular spectrum of high order off-axis Airy vortex beams (AiVBs), Goos-Hänchen (GH) shifts and Imbert-Fedorov (IF) shifts near the Brewster angle are numerically calculated. It is found that both GH and IF shifts increase with the increase of the vortex's topological charge of AiVBs. The influences of the vortex's positions on GH and IF shifts are studied for the case of the topological charge m = 1. The studies of the off-axis vortex show that the influences of the vortex's position on shifts are inversely proportional to the distance between the vortex's position and the origin point.
