Abstract

We study and examine the Goos–Hänchen shifts of a propagating probe light field in a four-level tripodtype cold and hot atomic medium. The behavior of Goos–Hänchen shifts is studied in reflection and transmission beams in the presence of the coherent Kerr effect and the Doppler broadening effect. We observe that these shifts can be controlled by the relative propagation direction of the control field to that of the probe field.
