Abstract
A new technique has recently been proposed1 that by modifying the wavefront of the emitting beam at the aperture of an optical system in a specific manner (e.g., by defocusing a transmitting telescope with spherical aberration), an optical beam that is almost diffraction free can be generated to propagate over a long range.
