The detailed phenomenon of total internal reflection, Goos-Hanken shift, is discussed based on electromagnetic theory when two prisms are separated in narrow gap comparable to the wavelength of incident electromagnetic wave. The shift is quite important to estimate the optical properties of materials and thus it can be applied to enhance the performance of simple devices such as microscope, optic communication and optoelectronics.
