We study numerically the Goos–Hänchen (GH) shift of a light wave transmitted from one‐dimensional photonic crystals containing a uniaxial indefinite medium. It is found that the permittivity and permeability of the indefinite medium strongly affect the properties of the GH shift. The (positive or negative) GH shift is greatly enhanced near the band edge of photonic crystals, the sign of the GH shift in the low‐ and high‐frequency edges of the photonic bandgap can be different. In addition, the properties of the GH shift are also strongly dependent on the incident light frequency, incident angle and the orientation of the optical axis. (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
