Simultaneous weak value amplification of angular Goos-H\"anchen and Imbert-Fedorov shifts in partial reflection
read the original abstract
The optical analogue of quantum weak measurements have shown considerable promise for the amplification and observation of tiny optical beam shifts, namely, the Goos-H\"anchen (GH) and the Imbert-Fedorov (IF) shifts. Here, we demonstrate simultaneous weak value amplification of both the angular GH and the IF shifts in partial reflection of fundamental Gaussian beam at planar dielectric interfaces. We employ pre- and post selection schemes with appropriate linear polarization basis states for simultaneous weak measurements and amplification of both these shifts. The experimentally observed enhancement of the beam shifts and their dependence on the angle of incidence are analyzed / interpreted via quantum mechanical treatment of weak measurements.
