We present the experimental demonstration of a self-trapped optical beam bending in a photorefractive Fe-doped lithium niobate (LN:Fe) crystal controlled by the pyroelectric effect. Formation of self-trapped beams with typical [Formula: see text]50[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m diameter and large bending of [Formula: see text]140[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m are depicted in a 1[Formula: see text]cm length LN:Fe crystal for a laser beam at 632.8[Formula: see text]nm wavelength and 0.5[Formula: see text]mW power with a 30∘C crystal temperature change. The self-trapped beam bending is opposite to the crystal [Formula: see text]-axis. The underlying physics is elaborated and numerical simulations are performed. The long-living waveguiding channels with controlled curvilinear trajectories are promising for optical information routing.
