Comment on "Role of spatial coherence in Goos-H\"anchen and Imbert-Fedorov shifts" [arXiv:0804.1895]

TL;DR

This paper discusses how spatial coherence significantly influences the spatial Goos-H"anchen shift, providing a specific example to illustrate this effect.

Contribution

It highlights the impact of spatial coherence on the Goos-H"anchen shift, which was not thoroughly examined before.

Findings

Spatial coherence greatly affects the Goos-H"anchen shift

A specific example demonstrates the influence of coherence

The results suggest coherence must be considered in related optical phenomena

Abstract

It is shown that the spatial Goos-H\"anchen shift is greatly affected by spatial coherence. A typical example is given.
