The resonant optical tunneling effect (ROTE) originates from the frustrated total reflection effect because unique transmission characteristics are used to study high-sensitivity sensors. In this study, we theoretically demonstrated that choosing a suitable transmission gap made it possible for the ROTE structure based on hexagonal boron nitride and graphene to obtain a large Goos-Hänchen shift as high as tens of thousands of times the incident wavelength at a specific incident angle. The amplitude of the Goos-Hänchen shift was found to be sensitive to the central layer thickness but was also modulated by the tunneling gap on both sides. In addition, adjusting the chemical potential and relaxation time of the graphene sheets could alter the Goos-Hänchen shift. Our work provides a new way to explore the Goos-Hänchen effect and opens the possibility for the application of high-precision measurement technology based on the ROTE.
