艾里光束作为无衍射光的一种，以其近似无衍射、横向自加速和自愈的独有特性而得到普遍的关注，在光电子学、微粒操控、大气通信等领域有着广阔的应用前景。综述了控制艾里光束传输轨迹的几种主要方法，简要分析每种方法对传输轨迹的加速方向、自弯曲程度以及峰值强度位置等方面的控制原理，总结出每种方法的优缺点。研究发现，通过改变系统参数控制艾里光束传输轨迹的峰值强度位置和自弯曲程度的方法，系统简单易实现；基于梯度折射率和特殊介质-非线性光子晶体的方法，能实现加速方向翻转，但是系统实现较困难；通过特殊变换可以控制艾里光束传输轨迹的加速方向和强度分布，系统容易实现。

Airy beam gains a widespread concern owing to its particular properties, such as approximate nondiffraction, self-accelerating in the transverse and self-recovery as a member of nondiffraction light families. Airy beam has a broad application prospect in optoelectronics, particle manipulation, atmospheric communication and so on. The main methods of Airy beam′s propagation trajectory control are summarized. Each control principle of propagation trajectory in acceleration direction, self-bending degree, peak intensity position is analyzed. The advantages and disadvantages for each method is concluded. The research result shows that the method of controlling the peak intensity position and self-bending degree of the propagation trajectory of Airy beam by changing system parameters is simple and the system is easy to be implemented. The method based on refractive-index gradient and the special medium-nonlinear photonic crystals can reverse the direction of acceleration, but it is difficult to make it come true. The acceleration direction and intensity distribution of Airy beam′s propagation trajectory can be controlled by the special transform and it is easy to be realized.
