Abstract
Applying Artmann’s formula to a light beam in the TM state of wave polarization,
we show analytically the existence of a large and negative Goos–Hänchen
shift near the angle of the Brewster dip on reflection from a weakly absorbing
semi-infinite medium. The shift is opposite that in the case of total internal
reflection, and it can be an order of magnitude larger than a wavelength if
the absorption of the reflecting medium is sufficiently weak. Examples are
given, and the detectibility of the shift is discussed.
