Goos-Hanchen and Imbert-Fedorov shifts for Airy beams

In this work, I present a full analytical theory for the Goos Hanchen and Imbert-Fedorov shifts experienced by an Airy beam impinging on a dielectric surface. In particular, I will show how the decay parameter a associated with finite energy Airy beams is responsible for the occurrence of giant angular shifts. A comparison with the case of Gaussian beams is also discussed. (C) 2018 Optical Society of America
