In this work, based on the quantum process of the Goos-Hänchen (GH) spatial shift, a quantum process of the GH angular shift is also theoretically investigated. Then, the coherence between spatial and angular shifts in the GH effect is discovered and developed to manipulate the final total displacement for a digital optical switch. It is found that a waveguide corner structure always makes the reflected guide-mode have a GH angular shift in the minus direction when the incident beam is in the Brewster angle vicinity, while it always makes the spatial shift in the plus direction. Meanwhile, the coherence of these two GH shifts has an interesting distribution with the incident angle, and only in the common linear response area to the incident angle, the two GH shifts are mutually enhancing, and then a mini refractive index modulation of the guided-mode at the reflecting interface can create a great stable jump of reflected beam displacement at an eigenstate under the GH effect. As a result, on the 220 nm CMOS-compatible silicon-on-insulator waveguide platform, with a tapered multimode interference (MMI) waveguide, a 5 × 1018cm-3 concentration variation of free carriers can create an absolute digital total displacement of 8-25 lm of the reflected beam on the MMI waveguide output end, leading to a 1 × 5 scale digital optical switching function.
