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.
