We discuss the phenomenon of upstream bending of a light ray and we anticipate that such an anomalous effect can be observed in a coherently driven sample of cuprous oxide (Cu2 O). We here examine the material parameters and the driving configurations that lead to upstream bendings of considerable magnitude.
