Realization of large transmitted Goos–Hänchen shifts with high (near 100%) transmittance based on a coupled double-layer grating system

Achieving Goos-Hänchen shift enhancement with high transmittance or reflectance based on the resonance effect is challenging due to the drop in the resonance region. This Letter demonstrates the realization of large transmitted Goos-Hänchen shifts with high (near 100%) transmittance based on a coupled double-layer grating system. The double-layer grating is composed of two parallel and misaligned subwavelength dielectric gratings. By changing the distance and the relative dislocation between the two dielectric gratings, the coupling of the double-layer grating can be flexibly tuned. The transmittance of the double-layer grating can be close to 1 in the entire resonance angle region, and the gradient of the transmissive phase is also preserved. The Goos-Hänchen shift of the double-layer grating reaches ∼30 times the wavelength, approaching 1.3 times the radius of the beam waist, which can be observed directly.
