Abstract
The effect of optical nonlinearity on lateral Goos-Hanchen shift at the LHM and RHM interface in both main and third
harmonic is studied by an analytical method in a 1-D structure. In main harmonic beside negative shift, the shift amplitude
increases and decreases by increasing nonlinearity when incident nonlinear medium is LHM and RHM respectively and in
third harmonic, negative shift is obtained. Also by changing incident angle and increasing LHM losses and nonlinearity,
negative shift turns into positive one which indicates all optically switching between RH and LH property via two parameters
of nonlinearity and incident angle of the light..
