Prism coupling of high-Q terahertz whispering-gallery-modes over two octaves from 0.2 THz to 1.1 THz

We report on prism coupling of high-quality (high-Q) terahertz (THz) whispering-gallery modes (WGMs) in spherical high resistivity float zone grown silicon (HRFZ-Si) resonators over two octaves from 0.2 THz to 1.1 THz. The WGMs are excited using a …

Direct experimental observation of the single reflection optical Goos-Hänchen shift

We report a precise direct measurement of the Goos-Hänchen shift after one reflection off a dielectric interface coated with periodic metal stripes. The spatial displacement of the shift is determined by image analysis. A maximal absolute shift of …
