The manipulation of the Goos-Hnchen shifts in the reflected and transmitted light beam through a cavity containing four-level atomic medium is investigated by modifying the dispersion-absorption properties of the intracavity medium. Via two external coherent control fields, the Goos-Hnchen shifts of the reflected and transmitted beam can be easily controlled. It is found that around the transparent region of the medium, the Goos-Hnchen shifts are very sensitive and can be enhanced as compared with strong absorption and amplification.
