Superluminal energy transmission in the Goos-Hanchen shift of total reflection

The dispersion relation omega(2) = beta(2)c(2) - tau(2)c(2) of surface electromagnetic waves is corresponding to that E(2)=p(2)c(2) - m(0)(2)c(4) of a tachyon where the coefficient of proportionality is the squared Planck constant h(2). Then we prove the energy flow velocity of the Goos-Hanchen shift in vacuum is cn sin theta(i)> c as well according to electrodynamics. These two different ways lead to a same conclusion that energy transport in the Goos-Hanchen effect of total reflection is faster than light. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
