In this work we generate optical fields whose polarisation structures not only rotate about the propagation axis, but can be tailored to accelerate, independently from their spatial profiles. Here we will demonstrate how this can be achieved with orthogonal, scalar fields, represented by weighted superpositions of oppositely charged Bessel beams, through path interference with a beam-splitter. In addition to their creation, we investigate various aspects of these generated modes, such as their angular accelerating Stokes vectors and optical current or intensity transport between various local positions within the field. Finally, we present a digital analogy to measure such fields in order to reconstruct their state of polarisation via Stokes polarimetry. undefined In this work we generate optical fields whose polarisation structures not only rotate about the propagation axis, but can be tailored to accelerate, independently from their spatial profiles.
