Abstract We investigate the nonlinear Goos—Hänchen shift of a light beam reflected from a prism-coupled leaky waveguide containing a Kerr medium. As the incident power varies, the system can switch between two states, total internal reflection and frustrated total reflection, owing to the inherent positive feedback arising from the intensity-dependent guiding mode resonance. The reflectance exhibits optical bistability; meanwhile, the lateral shift of the reflected beam also shows hysteresis behavior. It is found that the transition between the two stable states is related to the excitation of a leaky mode in the waveguide, which results from the modulation of the electric field in the nonlinear substrate. We also analyze the effects of system parameters on the bistable Goos—Hänchen shift. The thresholds as well as the width of the hysteresis curve are sensitive to the thicknesses of the gap layer and the guiding layer, which determine the resonance angle. The bistable lateral displacement in the slab waveguide may have potential applications in optical switching, beam steering, etc.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
