heal.abstract	We present, a covariant theory of photon acceleration in time-varying plasmas. This is a ray-tracing model for frequency upshift of waves interacting with relativistic plasma perturbations, such as ionization fronts and plasma wakefields. This theory explores the formal analog; between a photon in a plasma and a relativistic particle with a finite rest mass. The covariant ray-tracing theory is applied to the case of photon acceleration by a modulated wakefield. Threshold criteria for transition to chaos are derived.	en
