Abstract
A generalized method is proposed for the manipulation of Bloch surface waves (BSWs) with multiple designed phases. This method is based on perfectly matched Bragg diffraction with a wide range of available diffraction angles and can be used beyond the paraxial limit to realize nonparaxial accelerating BSW beams. When combined with the caustic method, multiple accelerating beams with pre-engineered trajectories have been successfully generated, including power-law, circular, elliptic, and bottle beams. Furthermore, the transverse light field distribution of these accelerating beams is consistent with the theoretical prediction, indicating that the beam width can be manipulated by controlling the trajectory of the beam. The results of this work will facilitate the development of novel applications where controlling the trajectory and width of the two-dimensional beams is crucial, such as surface tweezers, and lab-on-chip photonic integrations.
