Abstract

We investigate the spatial Goos–Hänchen (GH) shifts in one-dimensional defective photonic lattices by modulating the imaginary part of refractive index, namely, the imaginary modulation. The reflection spectra possess two singular points under imaginary modulation when the reflectance is infinite or vanishing. These two points correspond to the coherent-perfect-absorption-laser (CPA-LP) point and defect mode (MD) in the parameter space composed of the incident angle and refractive index. We show the spatial GH shifts are extremely giant in the vicinity of CPA-LP and MD as the phase of reflection coefficients dislocate. Moreover, the GH shifts are sensitive to the incident angle and the refractive index of defect. The sensitivity coefficients can reach as high as 106. The study may find potential applications in highly sensitive sensors.
