    Main Methods:

    • Theoretical analysis of nonparaxial beam propagation.
    • Construction of vectorial beams from accelerating beams.
    • Simulation of focal field properties, including spot size and longitudinal energy.

    Main Results:

    • Both beam types exhibit autofocusing along specific surfaces (paraboloid/ellipsoid).
    • Mathieu tightly autofocusing beams demonstrate superior focusing performance.
    • Longitudinal field components can be enhanced by adjusting beam order and separation.

    Conclusions:

    • Vectorial Mathieu beams offer advanced tight focusing capabilities.
