We start by introducing the Non-Diffracting Waves (NDW), and by a definition of NDWs. Afterwards we recall -besides ordinary waves (gaussian beams, gaussian pulses)- the simplest non diffracting waves (Bessel beams, X-shaped pulses,...). In Sec.2 we show how to eliminate any backward-traveling components, first in the case of ideal NDW pulses, and then, in Sec.3, for realistic finite-energy NDW pulses. In particular, in subsec.3.1 we forward a general functional expression for any totally-forward non-diffracting pulses. Then, in Sec.4"},"claims":{"count":0,"items":[],"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"source":{"id":"1408.6503","kind":"arxiv","version":1},"verdict":{"id":null,"model_set":{},"created_at":null,"strongest_claim":"","one_line_summary":"","pipeline_version":null,"weakest_assumption":"","pith_extraction_headline":""},"references":{"count":0,"sample":[],"resolved_work":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57","internal_anchors":0},"formal_canon":{"evidence_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"author_claims":{"count":0,"strong_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"builder_version":"pith-number-builder-2026-05-17-v1"}
