    Abstract

    The Goos-Hänchen shift and splitting of a beam totally reflected from a layered structure with a left-handed metamaterial, were described. The giant lateral shift of the beam was explained by the resonant excitation of surface vortex like polaritons at the interface between the right- and left-handed materials. The beam shift could be both positive and negative, depending on the type of the surface waves excited at the interface.
