Abstract
Accelerating beams exhibit a curved trajectory of their point of maximum intensity. These beams have generated a tremendous interest in several fields of optics and important applications for all-optical manipulation, curved nonlinear optics and curved micromachining [1-5]. Although the first demonstrations of accelerating beams were confined in the paraxial regime, exact analytical solutions of nonparaxial beams from Maxwell equations were discovered for beams propagating on circular [6,7] and parabolic [8] trajectories.
