Abstract :
Optical beams switching is well investigated in soliton driven photonics. It is shown that beams can be controlled without soliton trapping. The parametric refraction at vector phase matching is considered when walk-off for the idler and signals waves is directed on the different sides relative to pump beam. The equation for a trajectory of signal beam is obtained, and a condition of its full reflection from a pump beam is found. It is shown that in the beam turning area the intensities of idler and single waves strongly increase.
