Schematic showing the definitions of the spatial and angular GH shifts, XsGH and ΘaGH (top), and the spatial and angular IF shifts, YsIF and ΘaIF (bottom), for an (initially converging) beam of light incident on a metallic mirror. Darker colors within the reflected beam indicate a higher relative intensity. The orientation of the xyz reference frame before and after reflection is indicated. Positive spatial GH and IF shifts are directed in the positive x- and y-directions, respectively, after reflection (the spatial GH shift is shown in the negative direction). The angular GH and IF shifts are positive for a right-handed rotation around the y-axis and a left-handed rotation around the x-axis, respectively. For clarity the size of the shifts is shown extremely exaggerated.
