By using a weak measurement technique, we investigated the interplay between angular and lateral Goos-Hänchen shift of focused He-Ne laser beam for incidence near critical angle. We verified that this dramatically affects composite propagated beam. The experimental results confirm theoretical predictions recently appeared in literature.
