Abstract

In this work, I present a full analytical theory for the Goos–Hänchen and Imbert–Fedorov shifts experienced by an Airy beam impinging on a dielectric surface. In particular, I will show how the decay parameter $\alpha$ 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.
