Abstract

The role of a chiral quantum-dot molecule (QDM) system in controlling and enhancing the Goos-Hänchen (GH) shift is revealed here. The proposed setup is a four-level atomic system excited by incoherent pump and probe fields where the electron tunneling is prominent in affecting the GH shift upon the reflection and transmission of probe beams. The GH shifts in the chiral QDM system are calculated analytically by using stationary phase theory, whereas the dynamics of the quantum-dot system are derived by the density-matrix method. It is demonstrated that the GH shifts through transmission and reflection light beams are strongly influenced due to right-circularly polarized (RCP) and left-circularly polarized light. The GH shifts through RCP light are enhanced in the presence of chiral QDM systems, and these shifts could become either highly negative or highly positive, sensitively depending on the electron tunneling and chiral coefficients. This proposal can be viewed as a theoretical approach to the potential application of GH shifts in nano-optoelectronic sensors.
