Abstract
Since the first discovery of localized waves (focused wave mode) in 19831 and limited diffraction beams (Bessel beams) in 1987,2 great advancement in both theory and experiment of these beams have been achieved.3–6 Generalization of the limited diffraction beams and their applications to medical ultrasonic imaging, biological tissue characterization, and ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation of materials have also been reported.7–15
