Abstract
The peculiar spatiotemporal profile of an optical realization of the nonspreading axisymmetric wave has been recorded. For treatment of the experiment a simple representation of -type waves and their correlation with plane waves has been introduced, which covers also a broader class of incoherent wave fields.
