Large-scale sharply bending paraxial beams

We demonstrate optical sharply bending beams under the paraxial condition. The curved path followed by these beams arises from the intersection of geometrical rays nearly parallel to the optical axis rather than the envelope of a bundle of tangential rays, whereby conventional bending beams were rou...
