Abstract: We study, analytically and numerically, reflection and transmission of an arbitrarily polarized vortex beam on an interface separating two dielectric media and derive general expressions for linear and angular Goos-Hanchen and Imbert-Fedorov shifts. We predict a novel vortex-induced Goos-Hanchen shift, and also reveal direct connection between the spin-induced angular shifts and the vortex-induced linear shifts.<br />Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, to appear in Optics Letters
