About this ebook
This continuation and extension of the successful book "Localized Waves" by the same editors brings together leading researchers in non-diffractive waves to cover the most important results in their field and as such is the first to present the current state.
The well-balanced presentation of theory and experiments guides readers through the background of different types of non-diffractive waves, their generation, propagation, and possible applications. The authors include a historical account of the development of the field, and cover different types of non-diffractive waves, including Airy waves and realistic, finite-energy solutions suitable for experimental realization. Apart from basic research, the concepts explained here have promising applications in a wide range of technologies, from wireless communication to acoustics and bio-medical imaging.

About the author
Hugo Enrique Hernandez-Figueroa is a Full Professor at the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Campinas (UNICAMP), Brazil. He is a Fellow of the OSA, a Senior Member of the IEEE, an Associate Editor of the IEEE Photonics Journal, and was an Associate Editor of the IEEE/OSA Journal of Lightwave Technology. His research interests concentrate in a wide variety of wave electromagnetic phenomena and applications mainly in photonics and microwaves.
Michel Zamboni-Rached is a Professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Campinas (UNICAMP), Brazil. His research interests are electromagnetic field theory, theory and applications of localized waves (in electromagnetism, acoustics, and wave mechanics), optics, optical communications, and some topics in theoretical physics.
Erasmo Recami is a Retired Professor at Bergamo State University, Italy, and Senior Associate at INFN-Milan, Italy. His current research includes the structure of leptons, tunneling times, the application of the General Relativity methods to strong interactions, extended Special Relativity, and, in particular, the superluminal group velocities associated with evanescent waves and with the localized solutions to Maxwell Equations.
