Abstract
We analyze a family of exact finite energy solutions to Maxwell's equations. These solutions are a subset of the modified-power-spectrum solutions found by Ziolkowski [Phys. Rev. A 39, 2005 (1989)]. There are three characteristic parameters in the solutions: , and . and are related to the frequency bandwidth of the solution. In the parameter space of and , they represent quasimonochromatic continuous wave fields with the main angular frequency and energy localized in the transverse directions. Under the restriction of , the beam propagates mainly in the direction with velocity and limited diffraction.
